Many journalists were brutalised while their camera and other equipment were seized. ARISE TV cameraman, Stanley Ugochukwu, was  brutalised while his camera was snatched by the operatives.

Reporters and cameramen working with the Guardian and Sun Newspapers were also beaten to a  pulp.

Director of Enough is Enough, Yemi Adamolekun, who is also an ARISE News analyst, was assaulted by the DSS. Her phone was seized and smashed.
