There has been tension among journalists in Zamfara as the state government shuts down all the federal and private media houses for covering political rally of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The state’s Commissioner of Information, Ibrahim Magaji Dosara, in a statement made available to journalists, disclosed on Saturday.
Dosara said the state governor, Bello Muhammad Matawalle, also directed the State Commissioner of Police to arrest all pressmen that attended the event.
The Daily Reality gathered that the event was organized by the PDP governorship candidate, Dr. Dauda Lawal Dare.
Several reports indicated that Matawalle earlier announced a suspension of all political activities in the state over the resurgence of insecurity.
However, the PDP went ahead with its inaugural rally which enjoyed media coverage by the affected media.
Radio Nigeria Pride FM Gusau, NTA Gusau, Gamji Television, Vision FM, Al’Umma TV are among the media affected by the order.
