Daily Nigerian publisher, Jaafar Jaafar, has left his house and gone into hiding after he recently received several security threats.
According to PR Nigeria, unknown people have been on the investigative reporter’s trail for a while now.
“Jaafar’s life is in danger as unidentified persons, likely to be ‘hit men’, have been stalking him both at his Abuja and Kano residences,” the associate, who prefers anonymity said.
Recall that the journalist had published video clips of Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, in October 2018, allegedly showing him stuffing in his pockets from a contractor.
On 19th March this year, Ganduje appeared on a particular program of Hausa service of BBC “A fada a cika”, where he said that they were making plans to “deal” with those who released the videos.
Subsequently, Jaafar wrote a petition to the then Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, on the renewed threats to his life.
