Soludo’s Media Aide Accuses Press of Mislabeling South-East Agitators as ‘Unknown Gunmen’

Dr. Ebuka Onyekwelu, Senior Special Assistant on Media to Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo, challenges the media’s use of “unknown gunmen” to describe what he calls criminal agitators. In a recent interview with Diaspora Digital Media, he argued that this label shapes public perception and downplays the true nature of the threat behind the South-East sit-at-home crisis. He also outlined the Soludo administration’s view on improving security and urged reporters to adopt more precise language when covering regional unrest.

Do you think labeling these groups as 'unknown gunmen' unfairly influences public opinion on South-East agitators?

True oh, saying 'unknown gunmen' paint them unfairly before full facts come out.

Media outlets seem quick to reprint vague labels without verifying who these agitators really are.

I'm not convinced that changing the label will stop public fear if the violence continues.

Journalists should focus on naming actual perpetrators or citing sources, rather than relying on vague terms that obscure accountability.
