The PUNCH Editor, Ademola Oni, in the petition to the IGP on Thursday, condemned the “unwarranted, provocative, uncivilised, crude and barbaric attack” on the reporter. PUNCH Metro had reported that Ufoh went to the SFU to speak with some prospective tenants allegedly defrauded by a developer, Adewale Tunde. Ufoh was interviewing the victims in front of the station when he was approached by the policemen, who accused him of filming the SFU building. Despite the intervention of the acting PUNCH Metro Head, Samson Folarin, who spoke to one of the officers on the phone, the policemen refused to budge. One of the officers said the SFU Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Zango, approved of the attack on the reporter.
