Zamfara Journalist Hamisu Found Dead In Soakaway

Meanwhile, a missing journalist with Voice of Nigeria (VON), Hamisu Danjibga, has been found dead in Zamfara State.

The Secretary of the Zamfara state chapter of the Nigeria Union Journalist (NUJ), Ibrahim Gada, made this known in a statement on Thursday in Gusau, the state capital.

According to the NUJ, the reporter was declared missing earlier in the week but was later found dead in a soakaway behind his house three days later.

The union, therefore, expressed deep concern over the nature of Danjibga’s demise and appealed to security agencies to thoroughly investigate the matter and bring the perpetrators of the dastardly act to justice.
