 NIGER GOV ORDERS CLOSURE OF BADEGGI RADIO OVER INCITEMENT


Governor Mohammed Bago of Niger State ordered the closure of Badeggi FM Radio on Friday for inciting violence. 


The governor also called for the authorities to revoke the licence of the media station for fomenting trouble for his administration.


Chief Press Secretary to Bago, Bologi Ibrahim,  said the governor equally directed the Commissioner for Homeland Security and the Commissioner of Police to seal the radio station, and called for its owner to be profiled.


Meanwhile, Amnesty International (AI) has criticized Governor Bago for his "lawless and repressive order."


"Governor Bago must immediately withdraw his unlawful order," AI stated. "Under Nigerian laws the governor has no power to order the closure of a radio station. Choosing to bizarrely blame a radio station for the inexcusable security failures of the government is an open attack on media freedom."
