Hamisu Danjibga, a reporter with Voice of Nigeria (VON) who was declared missing earlier in the week has been found dead in Zamfara state.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Nigeria Union of Journalists(NUJ), Zamfara state council.
The statement signed by the union’s secretary, Ibrahim Gada, disclosed that the body was found in a soakaway behind his house three days after missing.
It 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.
The statement read, “Zamfara State Council of NUJ regrets to announce the death of Hamisu Danjibga, a reporter with Voice of Nigeria, VON, whose body was found in a soakaway behind his house three days after missing.
“The discovery of his corpse was a result of an unpleasant odour perceived by Islamiya children in the evening of September 20, 2023, who drew the attention of their teachers.
“After breaking the sock 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.
“The union extends its heartfelt condolence to the family, Voice of Nigeria, and the entire Zamfara State”.
