Days after Dar es Salaam regional commissioner, Paul Makonda, burst into a radio station last week making demands of the journalists, News editors of private media in Tanzania are refusing to publish stories about him.

According to Ceoafrica, CCTV footage showed him (in the cap), escorted by police officers, entering the studios of Clouds Media Group (CMG) on Friday night.  

Reports revealed that Mr Makonda was unhappy that the station had failed to run a story that would have portrayed a local cleric in a bad light.

Mr Makonda and the religious leader have had a public disagreement over an alleged drugs scandal.
