Nigerian journalist threatened with death

The political affairs editor of a Nigerian newspaper, the Daily Independent, has received a series of death threats. Wole Olujobi suspects he is being intimidated because of stories he has written about the administration in the southwestern state of Ekiti where political differences have led to regular violence and the murder of a man who was planning to be a candidate for governor. The press freedom watchdog, Reporters Without Borders, has called on the authorities to make a "thorough investigation" to "enable the identification and punishment of those responsible."
