Defence Minister, Bello Matawalle has taken legal action to stop several Nigerian media outlets from publishing stories that accuse him of having links to terrorist groups.
On Wednesday evening, his lawyers filed a suit at the Kano State High Court (Case No. 4).
The court granted a temporary order against Sahara Reporters, Mikiya, Omoyele Sowore, and other media organisations.
The order stops them, for now, from releasing any reports about the allegations.
This legal move comes after recent reports claimed that Matawalle had connections with certain terrorist groups.
The claims caused a nationwide stir, especially following the replacement of former Defence Minister Badaru with General Christopher Musa.
In his application, Matawalle asked the court to stop the media from publishing what he described as false and damaging stories.
He said such reports are not backed by evidence and could mislead Nigerians while harming his reputation.
