Police Invite ObjecTV Publisher Over Reports on Public Projects
ObjecTV publisher Segun Olawoye has reportedly been invited by the Police Special Fraud Unit in Lagos over his organisation’s reporting on public projects involving the Ministry of Works and LARalek. The reported letter describes the invitation as part of a fact-finding investigation and states that he may appear with a lawyer. An invitation for questioning is not a conviction, and the specific allegation and evidence behind the investigation have not been made public. The development raises questions about press freedom, accountability and transparency in public spending. If the reports on the projects are disputed, relevant contract, procurement, payment and project-completion records should help establish the facts. Journalists must verify claims and allow responses from those accused. Authorities should also address concerns about public projects with clear evidence rather than leaving citizens to speculate.
