This case is reported by the Committee to Protect Journalists:

On March 19, 2021, Abdullahi Ganduje, the governor of Nigeria’s northern Kano state, said in an interview with the BBC’s Hausa-language service that he planned to “deal with” journalists who produced a 2018 series of videos published by the privately owned Daily Nigerian news website, which alleged that he had received bribes.

“We are making plans. We will not disclose what sort of plans we are making,” Ganduje said, saying that the videos were fake. “The main issue is that we will deal with those who made it.”

On March 22, Daily Nigerian publisher Jaafar Jaafar filed a petition to Nigeria’s police force through his lawyer, Abdullahi Gumel, alleging that “Ganduje recently indicated that he and his supporters are scheming underground to deal with our client,” according to a copy of the petition reviewed by CPJ and a report by the Daily Nigerian.
