From Mika’il Tsoho, Dutse

The Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD), has expressed deep concern over reports that Mr. Shehu Ahmed Buwayi, a resident of Azare, Bauchi State, is allegedly being targeted for arrest following an article he published criticising the administrative conduct of the Vice Chancellor of Sa’adu Zungur University, Gadau (SAZU).

This was contained in a statement signed by the executive director of CITAD YZ Ya’u.

The statement said, according to credible sources, the University’s Vice Chancellor is allegedly working in collaboration with the Bauchi State Department of State Services (DSS) to track down Mr. Buwayi for exercising his constitutional right to freedom of expression.
