| PRESS FREEDOM IN CRISIS |
( By Dr. Olu Onagoruwa ) |
Like anywhere else in the world, in Nigeria the Press occupies the Fourth Estate of the Realm, but it finds itself unable to play its constitutionally allotted role in a Democracy. That is the subject of Dr. Onagoruwa’s 1975 Classic.
The Author highlights and analyses the brutality suffered by a Journalist, Minere Amakiri, in the hands of agents of the State and the crusade by the Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria, the Nigerian Union of Journalists and the Nigerian Guild of Editors to see justice done. Although the setting is a Military regime, Amakiri’s horrible experience in 1973 still haunts the Nigerian Journalist today.
Employing the Amakiri experience as a Case Study, this timeless book tackles the matters of Press Freedom, Sedition, Libel, Defamation, Corruption, Invasion of Privacy, Freedom of Information, and Government Ill-Advised Acquisition of Daily Times.
And much more, Press Freedom in Crisis is a treasure for anyone interested in Press Law.

| A REBEL IN GENERAL ABACHA’S GOVERNMENT |
( By Dr. Olu Onagoruwa ) |
A long-expected Memoir of this key player in that most turbulent moment in Nigerian political history, A Rebel In General Abacha’s Government highlights the political calculations that pushed men like Alex Ibru, Lateef Jakande and Olu Onagoruwa to work in the government of Nigeria’s maximum Dictator, General Sani Abacha.
This potentially controversial book digs up the astounding meanness and shenanigans earmarking Nigeria’s justice system, and makes outstanding revelations about secret issues that finally nailed the coffin of M.K.O. Abiola and June 12.

| LAW AND CONTEMPORARY NIGERIA |
( By Dr. Olu Onagoruwa ) |
Reflections by Dr. Olu Onagoruwa weld together a collection of newspaper articles
and selected speeches and essays authored by this renowned Constitutional Lawyer. Dating from as early as 1971, the pieces hold a timeless and fascinating relevance in the painstaking research and analysis that went into producing them. Someone has described the book as the “most readable and most enjoyable law textbook in Nigeria”.
It is un-put-down-able.
This especially so in the breezy and uncluttered style in which Dr. Onagoruwa handles issues and personalities ranging from: Law and Medical Practice, to Politics, Coups, Gowon, Ojukwu, Shagari, Diplomacy, Azikiwe, Awolowo, Aminu Kano, Watergate, Labour Relations, Universities, Shariah and more.
