The British high commissioner to Nigeria has expressed concern about the state of press freedom in the country ahead of April's elections. Richard Gozney cited the detention of four newspaper editors - from Leadership and the Abuja Inquirer - and the murder of Godwin Agbroko, head of the editorial board of This Day. "Journalists should be free to cover the elections without intimidation, full stop," he said, addressing a meeting between the electoral commission and a group of journalists. (Via IOL.West Africa)
