Salihu Tanko Yakasai, the media aide to Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has been arrested by DSS for criticizing the government on their ineffective response to security issues in the North.
However, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has condemned this act, and called for the immediate release of the journalist.
Alluding to the amended 1999 Constitution, the body said that the sacking of the journalist for criticizing the government is a mockery of the Constitution.
They warned the government to stop shutting up critics for exercising their freedom of expression.
