INFORMATION-LEAKS: WILL NIGERIA BE AN EXCEPTION

The Federal Republic of Nigeria has finally removed existing impediments to the freedom of media organizations to publish news and information even when it is a government classified information or matter as long as these information are factual, objective and of consequence to a majority of the citizens of the nation.
However, in the supposed world's freest societies(western nations) there are still dimensions of restrictions to information. For instance, why is wiki-leaks precisely Julian Assange being victimized under the guise of sexual harassment following his move to let the world have access to information pertinent to their existence.
Does Freedom of Information really exist in any country of the world? Will Nigeria be an exception?
