Vanguard is a daily newspaper published by Vanguard Media, based in Lagos, Nigeria. Vanguard Media was established in 1984 by veteran journalist Sam Amuka-Pemu with three friends.[1] The paper has an online edition.[2] He is one of the few in Nigeria considered independent from political control, the others being This Day, The Punch, The Sun and The Guardian.[3]
In June 1990, the paper was briefly suspended by Col. Raji Rasaki, Military Governor of Lagos State.[4]
In December 2008, the US-based Pointblanknews.com published a story that alleged the wife of the publisher of Vanguard Newspapers was involved in a ritual killing. The Vanguard took the reporter to court, claiming he was attempting extortion.[5] In December 2009, a Niger Delta peace activist commended Vanguard Newspaper for its reporting on the government's intentions, which he said helped persuade the militants to accept amnesty.[6]
