Nnamdi Akpa, the secretary of Ebonyi state council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists and Correspondent of the Guardian Newspaper in the state has explained how he was allegedly beaten by thugs loyal to the Speaker of Ebonyi State House of Assembly, Hon. Francis Nwifuru.<\/p>\n

Akpa said he was hit, pushed down and punched many times by the thugs for refusing to release his phone to them.<\/p>\n

According to Akpa,\u00a0it took the intervention of the Chairman of the NUJ<\/a> in the state, Comrade Tony Nwizi, to save him.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cMy brother, it was something I never thought of that would happen today.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came out to work today, as usual, and I went to the House of Assembly, because of the rumoured move to remove the Deputy Speaker.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thugs were about 50 and they are loyal to the Speaker of the House, approached me and demanded that I should give them my phone. I said I won\u2019t give them and all of a sudden, they started beating me. That\u2019s all. I didn\u2019t do anything to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was Mr Tony Nwizi that came and the thugs left me. I don\u2019t know what would have happened to me if he didn\u2019t come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
