Hunting News Hunters

Feelers from Rivers State indicate that security agencies are hounding some journalists whom they perceive are 'aiding' or rather 'encouraging' militancy through their reports.
The security agents are on the prowl trying to gag the pen pushers for daring to balance their reports by constantly interviewing the militant group leaders and airing/publishing their reactions.
Some of the journalists have already been summoned to appear before security chiefs in the state for interogation.
When did news hunting become a crime? Should journalists now desist from seeking opposing views other than that of government agencies?
Oh! I just remembered they say the pen is migtier than the gun.
