IPC’s Centre for Safety and Protection of Journalists (I-CSPJ), Lagos-Nigeria has expressed shock and dismay over the gruesome killing of Hamisu Danjibga, a veteran radio reporter in Gusau, Zamfara State.
Melody Akinjiyan , Press Freedom Officer, IPC, signed the statement on behalf of the I-CSPJ.
The late Hamisu Danjibga was found dead in a soakaway behind his house in Gusau on Wednesday, September 20, 2023.
Until his death, Hamisu Danjibga was a Correspondent of Voice of Nigeria (VON) in the state.
Mr Lanre Arogundade, IPC Executive Director, described the circumstances of Journalist Danjibga’s death as bizarre, considering that the family had raised an alarm that he was missing three days, before his corpse was eventually found in a soak away pit in his house.
“We urge security agencies to carry out immediate and thorough investigations to unravel the mystery surrounding his death.
“This will go a long way to bring succour to the family and colleagues that Hamisu Danjibga left behind,” Arogundade said.
The IPC then expressed its condolences with the family, friends and colleagues of the deceased. (vitalnewsngr.com)
