Vanguard is a daily newspaper published by Vanguard Media, based in Lagos, Nigeria. Vanguard Media was established in 1984 by journalist Sam Amuka-Pemu and three friends.[1] The paper has an online edition.[2]

In June 1990, the paper's publication was briefly suspended by Col. Raji Rasaki, the Military Governor of Lagos State.[3]

In December 2008, "current affairs resource" website Point Blank News 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.[4]

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.[5]
