Nigeria's guild of editors and human rights organization SERAP have expressed grave concern over the escalating repression of press freedom and free expression in the country, warning that the situation threatens to undermine democratic values. The Nigerian Guild of Editors and Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) have issued a joint statement calling for an end to the suppression of the media, which they say is becoming increasingly common under current circumstances. The organizations accuse various actors of restricting press freedom through intimidation, harassment, and other forms of repression. By demanding an end to these restrictions, SERAP and the Nigerian Guild of Editors are sounding the alarm over a rapidly deteriorating media landscape in Nigeria.
