Three Journalists Arrested for Polio Vaccine Killings

Three Nigerian journalists have been arrested for allegedly inciting violence against polio workers, Reuters reported. On Friday, gunmen in Kano State killed nine people, who had been giving patients the polio vaccine. The arrested journalists are accused of inspiring the attacks.

The journalists had said on Wazobia FM on Wednesday that immunisation against polio was anti-Islam and part of a Western conspiracy to cause infertility, Kano Police Chief Ibrahim Idris, told Reuters.


The killing of the vaccinators is a major setback in Nigeria’s fight against polio. “The killing of polio vaccinators in Kano State is a dastardly act that must be condemned by all,” he told All Africa.

  2. That is very unprofessional, how could they have said such a thing on air?
    Even if they did, why are these northerners so daft? Don't they know anything? When I say northerners are †̥ђε̲̣̣̣̥ problem of Nigeria they call me tribalistic, see what these animals are capable of, killing people trying to save their lives.. They are no better than †̥ђε̲̣̣̣̥ cattles they rear..

    2. dont say northerners are the problem bcos most of the northerners are not muslims,the belong to certain tribe and all and they have equal claims to the land like the other people do but the other people are now trying to use weapons and all to scare them outta there fathers land cos we christains dont have the kind of heart they have... I mean,some of these women give there children up to bcom terrorist not minding if they get killed cos they believe they are fighting for Allah....


      The president either needs to resign or step up, cos i dont understand why he would want to build a 4billion naira office for the first lady which is not even recognised than spending money in bringing all this terrorist to book... if he can not deal with them,her should seek for help from the united nations, am sure even obama is ready to help him bring this people down..

      i am just sick and tired of innocent people been killed for no reason. the western education they are against is even what they are using for crying out loud, compputers,gun,phones,banks and money and all,isnt it the whole western education concept? these fools would be dealt with by God,trust me... God is not sleeping at all
