Governor el-Rufai spoke through his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity , Mr. Samuel Aruwan, who visited the leadership of the NUJ to commiserate with members over the attack on journalists.
He said, “The State government has given directive to the police to investigate the matter, and the investigation is ongoing.
“The State government is ever ready to protect lives and property of not only journalists, but all citizens in the State”.
