Editor-in-chief of Daily Trust Newspaper, Mannir Dan Ali, has reacted to the military siege on the offices of his medium nationwide.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

He said the siege and subsequent arrest of some editorial staff in Maiduguri Borno state was a targeted attempt by the army to clampdown on the paper for \u2018comprehensively\u2019 reporting the many losses and defeats of the military by Boko Haram insurgents in the Northeast region.<\/p>\n

Speaking with newsmen yesterday, Dan Ali said the military authorities merely latched onto Sunday\u2019s lead report on the newspaper which bore the bold caption: \u201cMilitary prepares massive operation to retake Baga, others\u201d to accuse the medium of \u2018exposing\u2019 the surprise strategy which the military was planning to unleash on the insurgents thereby \u2018leaking\u2019 information to the enemies.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThe military is not happy with our reporting of the Baga attacks by Boko Haram and is just using today\u2019s story as an excuse to clamp down on the newspaper,\u201d the Editor-in-Chief said.<\/p>\n

However, he assured that the contentious matter of his medium\u2019s coverage style of the anti-terror war in the Northeast was already being resolved by the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment officials are trying to resolve the matter,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
