The management of Voice of Nigeria has demanded prompt arrest and prosecution of the killers of one of their staff members, Hamisu Danjibga.
Danjibga, who was until his death a correspondent with VON in Zamfara State, was kidnapped in the early hours of Monday, 18th September, 2023, by terrorists in Zamfara.
The VON Director General, Osita Okechukwu, in a statement he personally signed on Thursday, said the slain journalist was one of the company’s longest-serving correspondents.
He, however, urged security agencies to fish out those behind Danjibga’s death.
The statement read in part, “Late Hamisu Danjibga, was one of VON’s longest-serving Hausa Service Correspondents. He was a diligent reporter and served in different capacities throughout his long career.
“There is no doubt that we, the VON family, our colleagues nationwide, and his immediate family will miss him; however, we take solace in the truism that Almighty God gives and takes.
“Whilst praying for his soul to Rest in Peace, we passionately pray to Almighty God to oblige his family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
“Finally, we call on security agencies to fish out these terrorists and prosecute them immediately.”
