Three journalists attached to Wazobia FM have been arrested for allegedly inciting the killing of the 9 health workers in Kano state, northeast Nigeria, on Friday. The three journalists were detained for saying on a radio show that polio immunisations were an anti-Islam western conspiracy to cause infertility in women.

Mohammed Gama, Yakubu Fagge and an intern, allegedly made the statement two days before the 9 workers administering the vaccines were killed. The gunmen on motorbikes shot dead the vaccinators in two separate attacks.
