In what appears a military-era Gestapo tactics, the State Security Service, SSS, stormed the house of two journalists who write for Al-Mizan, a Hausa language newspaper, and arrested them.

Witnesses said the security operatives came in about 10 cars and first stormed the house of Aliyu Saleh, a reporter who resides in Rigasa, Kaduna.

After rough-handling Mr. Saleh and his wife, the couple were arrested at about 4:00 a.m. from where they were conveyed to the next destination of the security agents.

The next stop for the men in guns was the house of the editor of the paper, Musa Awwal, who was also man-handled alongside his wife. When the police were through with harassing the couples, they left the two women and arrested the two journalists.

The journalists have been taken to an unknown destination.
