The apology of a foreigner who sent a text message service (SMS) to four journalists in
Abuja, Nigeria's capital two weeks ago, is as important or dangerous as the rising tide

of heinous killings as a goal to be achieved through the message.
Unidentified persons said they were ready to kill the four journalists because successive

reports against former Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chair
Professor Maurice Yiwu finally succeeded in getting the government to fire him. Former
House speaker Patricia Etek has publicly stated that her biggest enemy is journalists,

more directly: “I will not talk to you (journalists); You were my worst enemy forever
when I went to the graveyard. “There are many people who do not openly express their

hatred for journalists, but show no mercy when it comes to their firing.

offices in the mountainous capital Joss, breaking windows and destroying
other valuables without knowing the attacker's mission. All of this speaks
volumes about the quiet anger and hatred of the violence that fueled a wave
of journalist killings across the country. At the heart of such killings is a
politics deeply rooted in personal and collective revenge.
Prior to 1986, Nigerian journalists had the luxury of hearing the story of the
murder of a journalist from a distance. Then they heard about the shooting
of Mr. Charles Horman, a freelance journalist in Chile on September 17, 1973
in the United States, who was deemed too dangerous for his life because he
knew too much about America's lead role, Alede. Then they hear that a hit
squad is visiting a journalist's apartment or office, writing "bad" stories
about the governments of Chile, Guatemala and El Salvador and recording
everything that moves in broad daylight.
