Article-Summary: 

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has described the recent police attack on journalists across the country as a clandestine approach to censor the press, and called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of those behind the acts. The union was reacting to the police brutalisation recently of a photojournalist, Mr. Akintunde Akinleye of the Daily Independent newspaper, a Lagos-based national tabloid.
