The Zamfara State Government has shut down the offices of NTA, Pride FM, Gamji TV and Al’umma TV in the state for covering the political gathering of the PDP governorship candidate, Dauda Lawal.
DAILY NIGERIAN gathered that the event took place on Saturday at the residence of the PDP candidate in Gusau GRA-Ring Road.
The decision was announced on the state radio on Saturday evening by the state commissioner for Information, Ibrahim Dosara.
The government also directed the state commissioner of police, Yusuf Kolo, to arrest all journalists that attended the event.
Although Mr Dosara did not reveal reasons for closing the stations, informed sources said the reason might not be unconnected with the stations’ live coverage of the political gathering of Mr Lawal.
