The police in Zamfara state say they have arrested two persons in connection with the killing of a Voice of Nigeria reporter, Hamisu Danjigba.
The two suspects are currently being detained at the Tudun Wada Police Station in Gusau town, the State capital.
The suspects; Bilal Haruna and Mansur Haruna, are the sons of late Danjigba’s elder brother, Malam Haruna.
Both of them were staying in late Danjigba’s house in Samaru area, Gusau before the incident happened.
There were series of complaints by late Danjigba on the insolent behaviour of the two suspects who were his elder brother’s children.
When Danjigba was declared missing last Saturday, many people assumed that he was kidnapped by bandits.
There was also a text message, which was sent by unknown person, demanding the sum of N1m from his family as part payment before announcing the final ransom on Friday.
The family and friends toiled to find Danjigba without success until on Wednesday when his dead body which was dumped in a soakaway behind his house in Samaru area of Gusau started to decompose and became fully exposed to the surrounding.
The soakaway was immediately dug out where late Danjigba was found with several cuts on his body.
Two prime suspects close to late Danjigba’s family were apprehended by the security personnel in relation to his brutal murder, while investigation into the matter was ongoing.
A funeral prayer for late Danjigba was performed near his house with hundreds of sympathisers in attendance.
He was immediately buried according to Islamic injunction.
Late Danjigba worked in many media houses such as, Ayau Newspapers, Kunnen Gari, Voice of Nigeria and Vision FM Nigeria.
He was survived by a wife, many children and grandchildren
