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.
