Mr Ojigbo was reacting to the appearance of the journalist before an investigation committee of the Kano State House of Assembly, to testify on the alleged videos of Kano State governor collecting bribe.
“As the publisher of Daily Nigerian Mr. Jaafar Jaafar is to testify before an investigation panel of Kano state House of Assembly today, we call on security agencies to provide maximum security to protect Jaafar all through the whole process in Kano,” Mr Ojigbo said in a statement signed by Isa Sanusi, media manager, Amnesty International Nigeria.
“Since releasing videos showing governor of Kano state allegedly collecting bribe, Jaafar has been receiving threats to his life, which forced him to go into hiding. Jaafar has shown bravery and is only exercising his responsibility as a journalist to hold leaders to account,” the statement made available to PREMIUM TIMES on Thursday, highlighted.
“It is the responsibility of the police and other security agencies protect Jaafar and ensure that no harm comes his way. His resolve to testify before the panel should be complimented with adequate security and protection.”From premium times.
*In Nigeria where nowhere and no one is safe?Even the person hiding you can blow the whistle when there is a price on your head...
Let the truth prevail.
ReplyDeleteThose behind this smear campaign are really working overtime
Oh Please hush!
DeleteAuthentic video. If Pa Buhari didn't support his impeachment, that means he's the father and inventor of corruption. They asked him to name the contractor that gave him the video, he told Kano Rep members to find out from the contractors since they know them. About 7 lawyers incl a SAN agreed to defend him free of charge.
DeleteSo Eesah go and report back to Pa Bubu to do the needful and You can also go to Kano to verify.
They wasting their energy. They will kill him just like they killed Dele Giwa and nothing will happen. He better run for hs life without relying on Amnesty. They only works in a law and order country and not a screwed one like Nigeria
DeleteBig mistake.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't the man testify via video call?
Which big mistake? Explain further pls.
DeleteToo bad. I pray he survives this mess. Nigerian Politicians can do an undo just to remain in power.
ReplyDeleteGod will give him the maximum protection because our security system is very bad. Even the police that suppose to protect can kill you and claim he wia following order. No regards to life.
