The Chairman of Kano Online Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists Abubakar Abdulqadir Dangambo has called on his members to remain committed to ethical Journalism.

He stated this in a chat with newsmen in Kano on Friday.

Dangambo further described the act by some Online newspapers editors in blackmailing people and institutions by using pseudonym as blackmailing and against the ethics of Journalism.

“There is balancing in Journalism, you can’t just report one side in a conflicting story to avoid being described as bias but it is unfortunate that some people are hiding under the name of Kano to be reporting what is blackmailing and unethical in the discharge of their work.

Journalism remains one of the symbol of development, when Journalists remain ethical by doing their job with all sincerity I believe this is the beginning of development.

I’m calling on such journalists who refused to register with us for reasons best known to them to do so as we will not fold our arms seeing Online Journalists misbehaving and their misconduct will be seen like we are all the same.

These Online newspapers know themselves, they should do so as soon as possible as we are now working in publishing the name of our members”. He said

The Nigerian Police Force arrested Barr. Muhuyi Magaji Rimigado, former chairman of the Kano Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, at his law firm on Zaria Road in Kano on Friday.

Eyewitnesses described the arrest as dramatic, with police arriving in a truckload, fully armed and allegedly threatening to shoot anyone who intervened. Rimigado reportedly asked to see the arrest warrant or reasons for his detention, but the police declined.

A lawyer present at the scene, Ridwan Zakariyya, said police tried to seize his phone and threatened to shoot him. The police team has since left the Bompai Police Headquarters for an unknown destination.

Kano Police Command Spokesman CSP Abdullahi Kiyawa has requested time to verify the arrest details.
