The government expressed its displeasure with the comments earlier this week in a statement released by the Ministry of Information and signed by Deputy Minister Fatimatu Abubakar. The statement also stated that the government had filed a complaint with the National Media Commission (NMC) and may consider seeking legal redress.
The decision by the administration to use intimidation and harassment is therefore unusual and upsetting.
It is unclear where he is being held, as operatives almost drive over corporate officials while attempting to track the convoy of unmarked vehicles that carried him away from the NIB office in Kawukudi.
