Media practitioner, Yushau Shuaib has revealed how Daily Nigerian publisher, Jaafar Jaafar fled Nigeria after Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje was caught on camera receiving bribe in dollars.
The viral video was ‘cloned’, the state government claimed.
Shuaib in a Facebook post at the weekend after visiting Jaafar who is in exile in London, United Kingdom recounted how the journalist was forced to leave Nigeria.
He disclosed that after suffering a series of political harassments and security threats, Jaafar was forced to leave the country.
The former National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) spokesman recalled seeing off Jaafar to the airport as he flew out about a year ago.
“A few days before Jaafar Jaafar left, I visited him in Kano where he showed me CCTV footage of strange movements around his residence.
“Less than 24 hours after, similar movements were noticed in his Abuja residence. Later he received security invitations over frivolous allegations.
“I am very happy to visit his family in their safe abode one year after today. We discussed power failure, petrol scarcity, ASUU strike etc,” he said.
