The Nigerian police this morning stormed the premises of ThisDay Newspaper in Apapa, Lagos.
According to sources close to the media outfit, security operatives, acting on a court order, forcefully entered the company’s office complex and chased away all the workers on duty.
While there, they seized both the official and private cars parked in the premises and also carted away all the computers (both desktop and laptop) found in their offices.

Is Goodluck Jonathan so poor that he's now using the police to go "collect" cars and laptop computers? What next? Protection racket? Where is my press freedom, Mr Jonathan? lol
It was actually closed down by Former Abia Gov. Orji Kalu in company of police after winning a libel lawsuit against the newspaper along with an award of N500 million in damages.
