The International Press Institute (IPI), Amnesty International, and a civil society group have criticized the police raid on JKD Television/Hamada Radio FM in Kaduna, Nigeria. The police action followed a video explanation posted on the station's Facebook page questioning a N300 million donation from Ibrahim Kabir Masari, a Special Adviser to Nigeria's President on Political Affairs, to a university established by Jama'atul Izalatul Bid'ah Wa'ikamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS) in Bauchi State.
The station's management reported that police officers arrived with a demand to see the station's General Manager, Charles Abah, who was not present at the time. The General Manager and a security guard were subsequently taken to the police command.
