Breaking: NTA Reporter Shot Dead In Benin by valboy20(m): 9:11pm On Jul 10, 2017 |
A reporter with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Benin, Mr. Lawrence Okojie, was allegedly shot dead by gunmen on Saturday night in Benin. Okojie was said to have been killed around Ogunola Junction, off Siluko Road. The spokesman of the State Police Command, DSP Moses Nkombe, who confirmed the report, said one person had been arrested in connection with the incident. Late Okojie, who was dropped off by NTA staff bus at Ogunola Junction around 8: 00 p.m. on Saturday, had called his wife on phone and informed her that he was on his way home. It was, however, several hours later that the wife, after repeated calls to his phone without any response raised an alarm that her husband, who was supposed to have arrived home could not be reached. It was gathered that some of his colleagues at NTA who were joined by some family members on a search mission, discovered his corpse in a morgue in Benin on Sunday night. As at press time, the circumstances surrounding the death of the reporter are still sketchy. The police have, however, promised to thoroughly investigate the matter. Okojie’s death brings to five the number of journalists killed in the state in the last six years. Source: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/07/breaking-nta-reporter-shot-dead-benin/ Lalasticlala

He's a reporter. Hus death is mostly likely politically motivated. Hopefully hus NTA colleagues know the story he was covering. This could lead to the murderer's doorstep. Condolence to his bereaved wife and family, I hope the station has a good policy in place to take care of them. |

What do you expect from a certificateless government? Yes this government is certificateless! Buhari is a senile certificateless potentate and a tribalist. No wonder Nnamdi Kanu is making waves under his government. Guys expect more vices under this olodo man you elected as president. |
