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 immunization 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.
