According to the Kaduna commissioner, “On 29th October 2021, my attention was drawn to an online publication authored by one Luka Binniyat. In this publication, Mr. Binniyat quoted Sen. Danjuma Laah of the Southern Kaduna Senatorial District, as stating that I am being used to cover up a genocide against Christians in Southern Kaduna.”
He further added that the allegations leveled against him amounted to defamation of character, injurious falsehood, and incitement of public disturbance.
He said as a passionate journalist on leave of absence in public service, “I am acutely aware of the burden of professional responsibility which must accompany accurate reportage for the consumption of the public.”
