Imo NUJ Distances From Fake Press Release Over Release Of Chinonso Uba
Posted on August 2, 2023
The Nigeria Union Of Journalists (NUJ), Imo State Council, said that its attention has been drawn to a fake Press Release signed by one Precious Nwadike and Ori Martins presumably on behalf of the NUJ, calling for the release of Chinonso Uba who is currently facing criminal libel charges at Force Police Headquarters, Abuja.
Imo State NUJ Council wishes to state clearly that:
1. The general public should please disregard the fake Press Release as it did not emanate from NUJ, Imo State Council.
2. That Precious Nwadike who is issuing the fake Press Release is not even a journalist.
3. NUJ, Imo Council challenges Precious Nwadike to publish his journalism qualification and see if he will not face forgery charges immediately.
4. That Chinonso Uba, from our records is not a journalist and member of the NUJ.
5. As a staff of a broadcast media outfit, Chinonso Uba should be a member of Radio, Television and Theatre Arts Workers Union (RATTAWU).
6. NUJ as a responsible professional body has established procedures for intervention on matters like this concerning her members.
7. NUJ, Imo Council calls on the DSS to investigate the duo of Precious Nwadike and Ori Martins as both of them are fake journalists and not members of the NUJ.
