Soldiers torture journalist for taking pictures

Nigeria_Army

It was on the News this morning on Channels TV of a female journalist who was tortured by some Nigeria Soldiers for taking pictures of arms and ammunition (which were suspected to have been newly purchased) being carried in a lorry by the soldiers... I thought I would see the story on Channels TV sites but it is nowhere to be found. Why? Was it not a confirmed story or what? I think this kind of stories shouldn't be taken lightly. Why would some soldiers torture a woman for that matter, for doing her job and they go free with it? What happened to Human Rights? Is there any law that says journalists shouldn't take pictures of soldiers with arms? Even if the weapons were not meant for the eyes of the public, wasn't it the responsibility of the military to ensure they were transported in during the nights when no unwanted eye would see them, or cover them properly or something?
