I am saddened to hear of the death of many Nigerians yesterday in Abuja, including young Precious Owolabi, DCP Umar and members of the Shiite sect. Whatever strategy is being deployed by the State is clearly not working and needs to be rethought. May their souls Rest In Peace.

1. Nothing is painful as this: watching a poor mother train her child through University days, only to hear the demise of such child during NYSC. My condolences to the families of Precious Owolabi the corps member serving with @channelstv..

One of the hardest part of this job is having to report the daily loss of life in #Nigeria especially.
Was really hard writing/posting stories of today's #Shiites protest.
Just getting home to now hear of Precious Owolabi. Sad, really.
