The Nigeria Union of Journalists, Akwa Ibom State Council, has condemned in strong terms the attack on the Akwa Ibom Broadcasting Corporation (AKBC) Administrative building located along Udo Udoma Avenue, Uyo and other facilities within the metropolis by hoodlums masquerading as #ENDSARS protesters.
It described the attack as uncalled for and meaningless.
The Council, in a statement on Thursday signed by Amos Etuk and Dominic Akpan, Chairman and Secretary respectively, noted that destroying public and private properties would not serve any meaningful purpose.

“It is a classic case of blaming the doctor for the disease of the victim.
“We urge security agencies to be on top of the situation to prevent further wanton destruction of lives and property and also ensure that perpetrators of these dastardly acts are brought to book in accordance with the laws of our State.
“The Union further commends His Excellency, Governor Udom Emmanuel for the swift response to the ugly development by imposing a curfew in the State to control the situation.
“We stand with our members in the AKBC family at this moment,” the statement added.
