Hamisu Danjibga, a veteran Nigerian radio journalist, was found dead in north-west Zamfara state three days after he was declared missing. Danjibga worked with the Voice of Nigeria (VON) for many years, where he reported extensively on the widespread insecurity in Zamfara state. The VON in a statement said the journalist had been kidnapped by "terrorists", describing his death as murder. The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and other press organisations have called for an investigation. Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal has also ordered security agencies to investigate the incident. The International Press Institute (IPI) Nigeria has called for an investigation into the abduction and subsequent killing. Danjibga was one of the journalists reporting on the activities of criminal elements, especially armed bandits, kidnappers, and their collaborators. His death has raised concerns about the safety of journalists in Nigeria, particularly those who report on sensitive topics. IPI also called for increased security measures to protect journalists and citizens in all parts of Nigeria.
