    Description

    Musa Abdullahi Krishi, a Daily Trust reporter attached to the House of Representatives in the National Assembly, was abducted by Policemen in Abuja and taken to Kano, on the claim that they were taking him for interrogations. His abduction is the highest point of intimidation the company has faced since its publication of a paid advertisement which the governor of Jigawa State had taken exception to.
