A Christian journalist has been arrested and thrown in jail for reporting on attacks on Christians in Nigeria’s Middle Belt.
Epoch Times reporter Luka Binniyat was arrested by officials of Kaduna State and charged with transmitting electronic information known “to be false” under the nation’s Cybercrimes Act.
The charge carries a penalty of three years in prison.
Accordng to a local source, Binniyat’s arrest “is aimed at silencing any dissenting voice and intimidating both Luka and the southern Kaduna communities.”
