An Oyo State-based journalist, Mr Tony Babatunde Daniel, was on Saturday harassed and brutalised by some personnel of Department of State Service, DSS, in Ibadan.

The incident occurred at an NNPC petroleum station which is a few meters away from the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Secretariat in the Iyaganku area of Ibadan.

Daniel said that he was on queue to purchase petrol when the incident occurred.

He was later rushed to a nearby hospital by his colleagues at the NUJ Secretariat.
