Journalist hacked to death in Adamawa
A journalist, Maxwell Nashan, who worked with the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), has been hacked to death in a bush on the outskirts of Vunokilan, Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Locals said some female farmers found the victim tied, with his mouth sealed and cuts on his body.
The women then contacted operatives of the civil defence who rushed to the scene.
He reportedly died on the way before reaching the hospital, sources said.
One of his colleagues, Fidelis Jocktan, said the victim, who was preparing for his wedding, “was picked by his assailants at his residence in Bachure area.”
