Missing Journalist Found Dead, Body Dumped Inside Soak Away Pit
Late Hamisu Danjibga
The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Zamfara State Council, has narrated how the body of Hamisu Danjibga, a Zamfara-based journalist reporting for Voice of Nigeria (VON), was found in a soak-away pit behind his house three days after he was declared missing.
The union in a statement on Wednesday night, September 20, 2023, appealed to security agencies to thoroughly investigate the gruesome murder of the journalist and bring the perpetrators of the dastardly act to justice.
The statement by the State Council Secretary, Ibrahim G. Ahmad, said: “The discovery of his corpse was as a result of unpleasant odour observed by Islamiya Children in the evening of Wednesday 20th September 2023 who drew the attention of their teachers.
“After breaking the soak away the dead body was confirmed to be that of Danjibga by his family and some neighbours. His funeral rites have since been observed according to Islamic injunctions.”
“While expressing deep concern over the nature of Danjibga’s demise, we appeal to security agencies to thoroughly investigate the matter and bring the perpetrators of the dastardly act to justice”, the statement added.
The union extended its heartfelt condolence to the family, Voice of Nigeria and the entire state.
