Gombe State Governor, Alhaji Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has denied issuing an order for the arrest of a radio journalist for hosting a member of New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) as alleged by the party.
This is contained in a release signed by Alhaji Shuaibu Gara, Special adviser to Gov. Inuwa Yahaya on information management and strategy and made available to newsmen in Gombe on Sunday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalled that a journalist working with Jewel FM Gombe, alongside his guest, were arrested and detained by the Police after hosting a programme.
He further challenged the opposition to provide proof that any journalist was arrested, adding that the government only tabled a complaint to the police against the radio guest who made unfounded allegations against the government.
Gara further appealed to the public who wants to get any information from the government to follow appropriate channel.
