The Zamfara State Chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has sadly announced the passing of journalist Hamisu Danjibga, who had been reported missing in the state.
In a statement released by the Union’s secretary, Ibrahim Gada, it was revealed that Hamisu Danjibga was declared missing earlier in the week and was later discovered deceased.
The statement read, “Zamfara State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists regrets to announce the death of Hamisu Danjibga, a reporter with Voice of Nigeria (VON) whose body was found in a soak away behind his house three days after missing”.
It further elaborates, “The discovery of his corpse was a result of an unpleasant odour observed by Islamiya Children in the evening of Wednesday 20th September 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 neighbors. 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.
“The Council, while expressing deep concern over the nature of Danjibga’s demise, appealed to security agencies to thoroughly investigate the matter and bring the perpetrators of the dastardly act to justice.”
