EXPOSED!! Niger Journalist Arrested For ‘Collaborating’ With Boko Haram

The government of Niger has arrested a journalist, Moussa

Tchangari for allegedly collaborating with Boko Haram

men. The rights activist who is known for his outspoken

criticism of the humanitarian crisis in southeastern Niger

is said to be spreading false news against the government,

reports say.

According to the Interior minister Hassoumi Massaoudou,

AFP reports that Tchangari was arrested for spreading

propaganda.

This man has been collaborating with Boko Haram for

some time, and he is actively spreading propaganda and

false news in liaison with Boko Haram. All his propaganda

aims to show… that Niger’s defence and security forces are

the criminals… (and) not Boko Haram, the minister

explains.

Tchangari was arrested on Monday and charged with

criminal links to terrorist group. Human rights watchdog

Amnesty International, has however called for the

immediate release of the journalist.
