Among the Nigerian Newspapers listed yesterday, who received the sum of N10 million from ThisDay Publisher, Nduka Obaigbena, Tribune has denied getting any money from him.

Continue to read statement below....


Our attention has been drawn to claims by the Publisher of Thisday newspapers who is also President of the Newspapers Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN), Mr. Nduka Obaigbena that a sum of N10million was paid to our company through NPAN by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) as compensation for the disruption of our circulation operations, seizure of our newspapers and damage to our property by soldiers in June 2014.

Although, like other NPAN members, we filed claims as requested for by NPAN, the fact of the matter is that up till this moment, 11th December, 2015, OUR COMPANY IS YET TO RECEIVE A KOBO as compensation from NPAN for the 2014 disruptive activities of the military to our operations.
