Journalists barred from Jonathan’s visit to Awujale

Journalists were on Thursday barred from covering President Goodluck Jonathan’s visit to the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.

Stern-looking soldiers and policemen did not honour newsmen, who identified themselves with their official identification cards.

Jonathan and the Awujale had been in a meeting behind closed doors since he arrived Ijebu Ode at about 11.15am.
