Rights Group Condemns Attacks on Journalists in Nigeria

Media Rights Agenda (MRA) condemns the increasing attacks on journalists in Nigeria, citing the recent arrest of Hassan Kangiwa in Kebbi State for exposing poor healthcare conditions. MRA warns that such actions threaten media freedom and citizens' right to information.

The group calls on regional and international human rights bodies to address the situation and hold the government accountable. Governor Nasir Idris' response to the journalist's video by arresting him has sparked concerns over press freedom.

The incident highlights the challenges faced by journalists in reporting on critical issues without fear of reprisal.
