At CreatePreneurAfrica, we stand with storytellers who speak truth to power. This week, investigative journalist and media founder Lady E Ejiro Umukoro issued a powerful statement through LightRay Media Foundation, condemning the arrest of journalists in Kano State, Nigeria.

What Happened

Multiple journalists were reportedly detained for covering stories that challenge political narratives. The arrests sparked outrage across media and civil society platforms, raising urgent questions about press freedom and democratic accountability.

LightRay Media’s Response

Lady E and her foundation called the arrests “a direct assault on the fourth estate,” emphasizing that journalism is not a crime—it’s a civic duty. Their statement affirms solidarity with the detained journalists and demands immediate action from press unions, legal advocates, and international watchdogs.

“We will not be silenced. We will not be intimidated. We will continue to tell the stories that matter.”
