Condemning the public outrage following the revelation of the news, the association said some newspapers are even yet to pick up cheques sent from Dasuki.
"Most of our members duly collected the compensation in good faith. The cheques for The Guardian, Tribune and Peoples Daily are still with our secretariat.
