VOA Fires or Proposes Removal of 15 Hausa Service Members for 'Improper Conduct'

VOA fires or proposes to terminate 15 Hausa Service broadcasters for improper conduct, including acceptance of improper payment(s) from official in coverage area...separate investigation to determine "if any coverage by VOA was improperly influenced"...VOA director warns if "other instances of improper payments are discovered in any service anywhere in VOA, we are committed to investigating them thoroughly and dealing with them promptly as well." [MY COMMENT] It's unclear if any of this involved the heavily-promoted Boko Haram: Terror Unmasked reporting in 2017
