It's Well

Very Useless channel I predict your dtotal downfall very soon alongside your demi god Buhari

Hmmmm. The life of P. Owolabi is more promising to our nation than that of zakizaki, Buhari cut off the productive tree and keep the unproductive in yard. The blood of this innocent man will speak like that of Abel.

Precious Owolabi buried in Zaria today NYSC

Even if you wear machine gun and go to war if God says is your time my brother you won't make it back,RIP to him and may God console his family

My condolence goes to channels TV. and the family of the deceased. God ll grant you the fortitude to bear the loss.

Whn wl dis stp

May his soul rest in perfect peace ameen

His parents should sue you. nysc_ng should not send corpers to Channels, until and unless there's a written and published apology and commitment to 'not' send interns to the field, unsupervised, henceforth.

Say his name!

Why must you post a corp member to handle an experienced reporter job Channel TV needs to be fined He is a corper not ur permanent staff

May his soul rest in peace, and my deepest condolences

olamidzz You are saddened by the stupidity of the management not to provide basic safety gears for your field personals right? Your staff should always carry with them bullet proof vest in any coverage!!! Stupid

R I P precious

Rest in peace

But these SHIITES are becoming more deadly. Why should this thing result to violence, and this is not the first time its happening. This is just a devilish seed sowed in these kind of people. I don't why people like this can't even have human compassion.

u are mad and shud b probed

Your idiocy management of is appalling! You sent a corp member to go cover an issue as sensitive as that? And now that he's become a casualty, look at how you're breaking the news! All you know is invite terrorists to come threaten the nation's unity on your TV!

RIP

Wen IPOB didn't kill anybody they sent operation crocodile but now because it's on the North they did not send any operation this or that or any animal name just because they are northerners, our president MBuhari knows and support them and their killing

So sad....

For me it is that killed the young man, a TV station that promotes bigotry, lies to the population, and plays one sided politics in the name of I don't know, in summary, the media(TV and radio stations),is also a major part of Nigeria's problem.

'Corps member'...the young man had a name. Smh

Sir it is part of our reward we get form the president

So anywhere Corp members go to they must meet one unforseen occurrence. The other year it was Boko Haram during elections. Another year it was river drawn. This is The Shiites. Who brought to this road?

May the good Lord comfort the parents of the decease in Jesus name amen.

This guy is alive stop spreading false news

You owe the family an apology for being irresponsible and reckless.

My sincere condolence goes to the family of the slain NYSC guy and to Channels tv family

Hmm! 😔

He was my cousin

buchionyegbule

Na wa o. una do bad, very bad. Na person child una expose to untimely death without any form of protection. You guys are despicable to say the least. You knew how delicate the issue is, yet you sent out an amateur. The day of reckoning is coming o. You won't escape it

Why did you send him to such a volatile scene,why?channels is to be blamed for that corpers death.sies!

Great loss to the people of Nigeria

Useless TV station. All of you will die one by one under the regime of this incompetent govt you promote.

This is very sad. We can't continue to lose our future.

Channel TV is fake, they can't even morn our beloved once, member of channel TV die during that horrible incident the whole Nigeria don't even known how his look like, Nigeria don't even known how to pray for him or her, channel TV is fake, no judgment, no justice Money following

Cc JnrDenzel

What a tragedy

😥

Channels television should be held responsible for his death

No value for life . Shame on you guys

This is very very sad, God have mercy on us, may his rest in peace.

Shame on u Channels TV for d wicked role u r playing supporting Buhari in d killing of innocent Nigerians

This is a wake up call to your organization. Next time don't be bias in your reports..

I am happy ooo.. sorry for the loss but I’m happy, Nigerian government thinks the citizens are not humans! See Police harassment in the south, west n east yet u can’t report, owning a car makes u a criminal.. looking good makes one a criminal, enough will be enough soon!

This is so sad... Things have really gotten out of hand in our Country. God help us🙏

I swear Nigeria's flex is different. Why would they post this? Blurring his body is not enough. Highly inappropriate imo. Imagine CNN doing something like this. It would not happen. You're supposed to show a nice pic share words you know about him and condolences to his family

NyscHelpCenter Why would you allow him on the scene in the first place? Is he a fully fledged staff? Haba!!! This is someone who's mother is there, praying for a good service year for him and now look at what's happened... This is just bad. Just bad.

Why was a Corp member sent to a location of civil unrest We need answers

On behalf of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria our heartfelt condolences to his family and the Channels Television. God rest his soul! The bloodthirsty Police killed and 11 free Sheikh Zakzaky peaceful protesters.

Wicked mass murderer tyrant MBuhari, elrufai and gang are worst than BokoHaram terrorists, their cousins.

Why do you always lose members of staff in incidents like this? We know it is part of the job hazards but you need to step up when it comes to providing security for your workers. First it was Enenche Akogwu in 2012 now this.

To bad, where are we going to in this country.

You sent an Inexperienced man to cover protesters with histories of violence. You're culpable asuch as NYSC, the Nigerian government and ISM.

Why send your correspondent's to a protest carried out by an religious ideological induced group without proper protection in the form of bulletproof vest and helmet? His blood is on your hand.

We condole with the family and the Channel management and staff for this great loss. PoliceNG finally decide to silent his report on the crime they were committing. Oh God! expose those who did the shooting and the motive of the shooting.

This is unGodly

😥

So sad.

officialnyscng DGSIbrahim NyscHelpCenter Say something please

Ooh goodness!!!

Shias of Nigeria are unfortunately on their own. Buhari is a Sunni fundamentalist like majority of Nigerian Muslims. Iran, the only strong Shia power, is currently engaged in a geopolitical power tussle with rivals backed by the U.S. The Shias will be wiped out in Nigeria. RIP

Channels Saddened🤔

So sad

u are partly responsible for the system that killed the victim

Is this what you want to tell the parents

Too bad I pray God grant the family strength to bare the lost.

What senior colleague did this young man have to tell him what to avoid in this very sensitive posting? Would it hurt to say his name? You guys gaffed big time

MizCazorla1 We need autopsy report. Whose gun killed him? tell us, we want to know CompromiseMedia

May almighty Allah grants him eternal rest and comfort his family

SavvyRinu The word pawns...I'm afraid describes a lot of us nigerians...We are seen as expendable...HATE in all forms everywhere

Pls where is this happening and when did it happen

No insurance for Nigerian staff. I still feel the pain on my left leg. The company I got this pain from while on duty said I didn't sign an insurance clause for my contract. This might be the faith of presiousowolabi with sad!

So, sorry about that loss... Govt should take drastic measure to stop this menace ..

What a sad one

This is what I call avoidable crisis if FG had been scrupulous to obey court order on El-Zakzaky.I blame the death of Corper Owolabi and police officer killed including others on FG flagrant flouting of court order.APC led govt is dictatorial shuns rule of law. RIP dear gentlemen

My condolences to Channels Television. May the soul of the Corps Member rest in peace.

Fucktards!

These are issues that should have been tackled....The media hasn't done enough....why should a president still detain a person that the court has already set free? The media should have condmned it..Now people have been killed and MBuhari is smiling in Abuja

This is very upsetting. First, you send a corps member to cover such a story. A newbie! Second, you couldn't even write his name. His name is PRECIOUS OWOLABI. SAY IT! Thirdly, you should have used his picture, at least. I hope his parents slam you with a law suit.

God is not sleeping channels TV is supporters of this evil and wicked administration of President Muhammadu buhari they should expect more

This is really upsetting. First, you put a corps member in harm's way. Don't you people have experienced hands? Why send a newbie to a war front? Secondly, you couldn't even say his name. His name is PRECIOUS OWOLABI! I hope his parents slam a law suit on y'alls heads!

Its a pity that an innocent blood has to involved in this I pray that the President will have a listening ear for once

RIP

😓

His family have got to file a lawsuit, utter nonsense!

Eeya!😔😔😔😔😔May their souls rest in peace

Buhari and Channel TV took her life (Buhari refused to obey curt order to release El-Zakzaki and Channels send this young junalist to a battle sene without vest)

YOU ARE THE CAUSE OF THE CORPER DEATH BECAUSE YOU KNOW HE IS STILL UNDER GOING TRAINING AND YOU SENT HIM TO VIOLENT SCENE MEANT FOR PROFESSIONAL. YOU WILL ABUSE/ADVICE THE PRESIDENT OF USING ROUND PEG IN ROUND HOLE, SEE HOW YOU WASTED THIS BOY LIFE.

It is so sad that the young man was cut down in the flower of his youth as a result of the titanic incompetence of Buhari and his rabid resolve not to obey court orders. I am at pains to understand why Channels TV sent a rookie for such a potentially dangerous assignment.

like seriously who did this to you? You are so heartless

I'm sure he has a name and a face. I'm sure.

What type of word is this after schooling chai death y!!!

You guys should take responsibility. Idiots. He is not a Jornalist. You just saw cheap labour and expose them to do odd jobs. NYSC should look into this.

In as much as I sympathize with the family of the late corper am still wandering why will send a serving corps member to a Violent protest. Haba its uncalled for ai.

Please if they didn't have rubber bullets and enough teargas couldn't they import or 'even borrow from countries that have' I mean this is really heart breaking Nigeriapresidency, MBuhari Everyhumanlifeisworthmorethanamillioncow. NoPeaceforthewickedin Nigeria.

Condolencechanneltv

May his soul rest in peace

RIP

These people we call government are something else. People (Citizens) are protesting and all they have to counter them were real guns and real bullets. My Lord and my God, Jesus Christ Help us. Everylifecounts. Nigeriapresidency, MBuhari APCparty Everysingle humanlifecounts

Lusiseth O lord this is so sad....

Look at you.... You couldn't even use his picture in passing the across, your hypocrisy stinks!

Accept my deepest sympathy, family, management and staff of . May the souls of the departed rest in peace.😞

Another sad collateral of the dysfunctional security structure of Nigeria. May his soul find peace in the hereafter. Amen.

Terrible for a TV station that claims to be number one. You have not shown him respect whatsoever with this kind of reporting. Shame!

He died doing his work. We mourn, celebrate his young life and pray for his soul. We always make fond of journalists reporting from 3rd parties. At least this young man was on ground. It's a sacrifice we all must be thankful for.

This is terrible. A young journalist Or someone’s son, brother, cousin and family. You people should do more than just announcement and actually call out the government to provide solutions to this issues. Please!!!

You bastiches might as well have pulled the trigger yourselves. Sending a corper to a violent protest? Fools

Buhari should resign....only his resignation would be enough...vagabond in power

Its just unfortunate....May his soul rest in prefect peace.amen.

So sad. May his soul rest in peace.

Sometimes I wonder what kind of untrained SAN we have in this miserable country called Nigeria. Why on earth would you, a senior advocate of Nigeria make this kind of unprofessional and mockery post. May I remind you that it's your role and that of principal to save lives. Think

May his soul rest in peace.

May he soul rest in perfect peace, may almighty God keep the remaining staff alive... especially oreoluwa shonibare

Sad much.. May his soul rest in peace.. wakeupnigeria

Nysc is a big scam. This country doesn't merit anyones service

Corp members are used as errand boys/girls in all these big corporations.

What was his name channels? Why didn't you put his name in this tweet? It was the least you could do. Why didn't you?

We don't even know if is HE or SHE, see the way they under report the incident, as if it doesn't really matter to them. Weoh!

Sad

President Mbuhari should be held accountable for refusing to obey court order.if Elzakzaky had been released we won't have those avoidable deaths. I'm not a shiite member neither am i supporting their activities but believe court order should be obeyed.

I can't believe channels don't have the true picture of this corper? What is happening?

It's better to disobey foolish orders and be queried than for you to die. Any right thinking boss ought to know that Shiites protests always end up this way. Channels ought to have provided him with safety gadgets.

You people self. Werin concern una and Shiites?

Oh! What a waste of a promising future. My condolences to the parents and Channels TV.

This your news is horrible. Corps member covering a violent scene? May God have mercy on his soul. RIP Precious

So sad!This has yet again brought to d fore the d woes & failures of d Buhari led FG which Channels Tv has always been dodgy about.

Get a lawyer sue this company

NyscHelpCenter What a sad news😥

They said we are the only ones they will target to disintegrate the country - Sheik Zakzaky once stated. What gain or benefit will this killings bring to Nigeria other than chaos and unrest. The federal government's action against shia is the real threat to the nation.

Too bad. Nigeria has really deteriorated in security of life and property

Why didn't they send one of their staff instead of a corper!😡

It's so sad! How can a group under security surveillance gather in thousands to wreak havoc without our intelligence agency knowing about their intentions and nipping it in the bud? Says so much about our security infrastructure. May his soul rest in perfect peace.

Sending this young man to such tense situation is so unfortunate.......

The family of that slained corps member should sue channels TV management, if they think that their child was placed on death's way without justification.

Someone without some sort of insurance What are you people doing It should be known that management killed that young man.😡😡😠

Its a pity. May the soul RIP. And please channels and all journal houses, stop sending inexperienced young Grad/Corpers to such hostile task without crisis management knowledge

This is very sad!

This is a disgrace to Nigeria. This fight is a religious fight and the entire Nation is suffering on this mediocracy. The government has breached someone’s fundamental human Rights and have failed in securing the lives of citizens. Painful and pitiable.

Why is government child working in a private firm? Rip lad

Rip precious..... Wea exactly are we going in this country?

May his soul rest in peace

😫💔

May the Lord Almighty God save His Children from this type of untimely Death. May the Soul of the Corper Journalist Rest in Peace.

Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and give her family the strength to bear the loss

Pinkbee_ UPDATE!!!!

Why Can't Channels Tv say it as it is..The Police shot at the Young Corp member..Stop trying to absolve the Clueless Police Force who shot at unarmed Shiites. Channels Tv is desecrating on precious Owolabi's grave by still being partisan n tactical with the truth

So sad... Also is a lesson to other unprofessional journalists out there

So sad news

Management of ChannelsTV needs to stop using Coprs members / IT Students on the field as a trainee. They can be learning on the job with the back-up staff members. So unfortunate..seunokin

RIP

This country is a sakamanje country, I am very sure the Government won't do anything about it... I wish another country can come colonise us 🙁😠

May his soul rest in peace.

😥😥

Am sure if it were to cover the NASS, Aso Rock, politicians, big shots, you wouldn't have sent a corps member. You guys know how this Shiite protest ends but you decided to end that Young man's dreams.

We keep saying Buhari has failed,but disagrees...we keep saying Nigerians never voted buhari..He successfully rigged himself into power..Now chaos,intimidation, poverty,fear and death is his trademark

This news of the death of Precious came while the 10pm news was on but channelstv didt deem it fit to mention it .we only heard from tvc and now they come out to say corps member serving with channels tv dies .how very insensitive

I think channel was looking for a way to kill.. This young man before now... If not you can just send just him alone to go and cover such place... Channel have inner mind toward him... It's an opportunity for to kill him that's y...

So sad! This is avoidable

Sigh!

May his gentle soul rest in peace.A journalist coverng an evnt shld alwys put on a bal'tic vest bcoz a peaceful protest can turn nto chaos

This is something MBuhari will smile at right?

fkeyamo that corps member could have been ur sister, daughter, niece, cousin or family relative same goes to d DCP. is indeed a shameful thing that an administration of SAN'S is actually the one bringing d break down of laws.. If Nigeria burns even u still v slot to loose.

Why would a Corps member be sent on such assignment unaided by a Snr. Colleague?

Really sad...May his soul Rest In Peace

What happened to using of drones to cover such ? Rather than endangering the lives of your staffs.

This is not acceptable.This Shitte versus government face off is becoming a festering wound that may consume this country. Buhari needs to do something. He is commander in chief for a reason!

The Corps members has no name This is how much you value his life?

So sad. My deepest condolences to all those who have lost a loved one to this unending violence.

Y can't Buhari jus resign for love of the Nigerian people? The country has gone from bad to worse. People just keep dying avoidable deaths resulting from insurgencies. Former president Good luck Jonathan did it when the Election result was announced. African Leaders be Patriotic.

Truth be told, if the federal government had release this man as the court ordered.. All this wont have emerniated at the first place... Its a pity that some innocent life is now the victims of federal gvnt refusal ot court orders

Are you saying you don't know his name? Or don't have any picture of him? It's obvious the young man just died in vain! RIP Precious Owolabi 😟

It's really sad. Nigeria's system of leadership isn't helping matters at all.

Just the beginning, remember how many Shiite member said they will sacrifice.

why was he there in the first place, why would you guys send a corp member to the war front when you professional correspondents in your payroll who could have gone, but you chose a young promising amateur. Why?

My God😢😢😢! this was like sending a child to a man's job! So sad. My prayers n condolences to the berieved family.

I hope you all in Channels will immortalise him

Rip precious ,but when are we going to get it right in Nigeria?

So sad, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased. No one needs to go through such pain. Another avoidable death! MBuhari can you please be a president for once? The killings are becoming much.

This is sad. With all her struggle, her life was brought to a brutal end. May her soul rest in peace.

Why send a corps member to cover such?

tooo sad.

ok, yes you send a corper on such coverage, without security, are you guys insane?🙄 take a look at cnn and other international news channels, when it comes to protest,or things with violence, they go with security.. may his soul rest in peace oo, but i feel its channels fault

So sorry for the loss of the young man. The vicious group needs to be confronted to respect other people’s rights.

It was in ur channels TV studio that some unscrupulous northern youths coalition issued a 30days threat 2 d president & d nation & u interviewed aired it live. NBC, buhari didn't shut u down. Maybe more of channels TV crew need 2 go same way with that innocent corper so u learn👌

RIP Precious Owolabi and the Deputy CommissionerOf Police , Mr. Umar.

I am the brother of the decesead and I am also a journalist it's very bad and unprofessional to send coppers to scenes like that I learnt about the hazards of news reporting and it talks solely about professionalism now the deed is don no amount of money can replace what is gone

Channels if you don't speak against evil now, in no distance time insecurity in Nigeria might consume you. Speak against impunity and government recklessness now. Be wise!

This is so terrible my goodness! May his soul rest in peace 🖤

His death was avoidable, FG kindly do the needful...

It's so poor of you that the safety of your workers is not put into cognisance. How can you send your reporters to the frontline without a vest and armoured helmet in this age and time, shame on you

heart breaking 😪

So sad, our Country is in mess😴😴😴😴

Which way Nigeria? Where are we really heading to? May his soul rest in peace. Ijeoma ijeomaonyeator was moved to tears yesterday during 10 O'clock news. So sad.

May his gentle soul rest in the blossom of the Lord. I pray his family,friends and colleague find solace in the Lord, INN.

His name is Precious Owolabi. ... he has a name and family

What a country were the president don't obey court order Rest in peace dear 😅😅😅😥😥😢😢😢😢😢

You will still defend the government when security issue is been presented to your so called Sunrise Daily.

scarfizal But you guys have been 👏 for them all this while.

He has a name. ....

Which way Nigeria? Where are we really heading to?

You killed Precious Owolabi!!!!

🙁

His blood is on the head Of President MBuhari

May his soul rest in peace

Killing all the Shiites and sacrificing innocent lives and properties to stop IMN protests will not bring peace so long as there's no justice. Let the authorities release their leader, restrict him and put him under surveillance. God bless Nigeria.

RIP to a young man cut in his prime, by trouble makers. We expect to see sincerity and fact based reporting. Which is all we ever ask/ need. If you have been sincere, then your reporting should not change. If you have not, it would be very obvious.

Una dey mad !

This was how boko haram started..

So many things out to take life in Nigeria. 💔

Once a good TV station, ran out of cash, drowned in corruption at the moment, airs anything that can keep them afloat. Lost their credibility. I don’t watch them anymore. Rest In Peace to you Owolabi, you died working for a corrupt Organization. Sad.

Dis broke my heart STOP LEAVING YR REPORTERS UNPROTECTED WAR ZONE..u may want to be d CNN of naija buttttt plzzz don't let yr soldiers go to war without necessary gadgets.. RIP ABURO

What a sad n painful news, my sympathy to the family

That corp member a novice was unnecessarily exposed to death. You can't even dignify him/her with a name? SHAME ON YOU Channels TV. I wish Nigeria was a serious country where you will pay thru your nose for this gross negligence. One day maybe.

An innocent corper's life ending at noon because of some incompetent hands. Till the day the President is held accountable for innocent lives lost, Nigeria will continue to wallow in misery. Justice must prevail. FreeLeahSharibu now.

Someone serving his Nation.

Rest in peace. So painful.

Sad.

If it is possible to eliminate such group of people, let's the authority go ahead. The Egyptian government were able to suppress similar evil group in that country before their leader who was even the President later died in custody this year. Enough of shiit activities.

The family should sue How can you send inexperienced Corp member to cover a riot It can only happen in nigeria and nothing will happen.... Rip to her 😭

Let it be known that there's no such thing as UNTIMELY DEATH, because death is part of Allah's perfected plan (i.e. destiny) for His creations.

So sad

Has NYSC, said anything about this yet?

And the nonentities in power might just create another Boko Haram.

This group is nothing but terrorists group like boko haram, the MBuhari govt, PoliceNG & the HQNigerianArmy must end Shiite abnormal protest and their activities now..

Sad, sad.😢😢😢

Do you have bullet proof in your Ofice, for covering this kind of event ? No!!!

MAY ALMIGHTY HELP US TO SEE THE END OF THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS WITH GOODNESS AND KHAIR IN MY COUNTRY

aishambuhari MBuhari 💔

Sad... The grass continues to suffer the trampling of the 'elephants' in Naija

Damn you You mean you sent a Corps member to such volatile area? His blood is on you.

RIP

Very disappointed with this shit done by how could yi you send a young journalist to a combat area 🤕🤕🤕🤕 May his soul rest in peace

A country so full of mess 🤦🤦

This tells me - 1. Anyone can be killed anytime and nothing will happen 2. A human life means nothing to the government in Nigeria 3. Justice here is selective with big eye balls wide open, checks replaced sword, not a lady but a bitch 4. Powerful animals in human skin Sigh

We don't have a govt. We have sleeping leaders. God help us all

Very sad! May his soul rest in peace.

And you Guys supported the Govt 🤦🏾‍♂️

May her beautiful soul rest in perfect peace.

YOUR THREE YEARS WORK PERMIT VISA TO CANADA, AMERICA, GERMANY, AUSTRALIA & NEW-ZEALAND, WE GUARANTEE YOU SURE VISA TO ANY OF THESE COUNTRY & FOR MORE DETAILS & INQUIRIES YOU CONTACT US ON(+2348037639938) SAME ON WHATSAPP. !!

Channels, your APC is just testing their microphone of of iresponsility.

Who will lead d fight like Venezuelan youths, who will walk down d Asorok to tell them a deadly terorist worst than Boko Haram is coming, just to obey d court order by releasing El zakzaky is a problem. But they promot inceasant killings by this miscrant Fulani herdsmen. RIP dear

The police has warned people to stay away from the danger zone, but still the media company send him there without any protection. Rip.

Why send a corper to cover your news. This is crazy... Why not send your main staffs. Why Baturey....

You guys are inresponsible who on Earth will send a novice to such a scene. It's really saddened that the police won't come for you guys

May his soul rest in peace and may the good Lord give his family/friends/colleagues the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.

Unless this corps member was there without authorization by . It's improper to send a journalist without field experience to a cross fire scene. No matter how brilliant one is, the classroom is different from the field. For me that's carelessness. RIP Precious

It's a pity dear

Shut up joor, u covertly caused his death with your biased and lopsided sided reportage. Carry his corpse and prepare pepper soup for your delightful consumption, hope you guys are happy now?

What a loss! So channels TV have also become a victim of insecurity?

My Condolences to Channlestv n the Family of the deceased.

Oh what a precious life lost! May his soul and the soul of all those that died in the unfortunate incident Rest In Peace. 😥😰

And the madness continues. You guys have a role to play, but you chose to play partisan politics, and it now cost you one of your own. Tell the presidency to respect court orders. Another Boko Haram loading, and we can't be fighting at all fronts.

One down to many 😞

Hmm Nigeria

Just too bad....one can't serve her father's land in peace again?

Is channels tv not apc channel? Your big ogas will soon die by the way many ordinary Nigerians have dying

Buhari's Channelstv will not report which bullet hit the young staff or DCP that died. Were they shot by Shiite or Police ? RIP

How many more innocent lives do we have to waste before we put an end to this madness? MBuhari obey court order and let there be peace.

Damn. this country is failed

😞

May his soul rest in peace. Such a great loss! 😭😭😭😭

Lord have mercy on everyone that's affected and protect the rest of us out of such calamity ameen

Why did you send an inexperienced journalist, a Corp member to cover a protest of an angry group. Yoruba proverb says 'Omo olomo la n ran ni ise de torutoru'. Just go to his family and tell them that you and your government failed to protect their son.

May his soul rest in peace.

They are not measured enough for such places with a country that has no value for journalism. May the soul rest in perfect peace.

Yet again you guys enabled this, You have blood on your hands, The evil you've been supporting is on your doorstep.

Innocent people are dying just because of one man's heartless spirit and disobedience to rule of law.

MizCazorla1 One of the evil they supported karma

gbengaakande Shame on you , you cannot even mention the person's name!

Its a pity Sorry for the loss

Avoidable death. May her soul, and others rest in peace.

It's very reckless of you guys to have sent a corper to cover a violent incident which has bn occurring for a while and knowing the outcome yal still went ahead and put a youth corper on the front line.. idiots

Help us tell DGSIbrahim make dem relocate everyone back to his or her region this country is something else. I sympathize with nysc_ng the parents too

Why would you guys send a Corp member to such a dangerous scene

And someone is still saying Shiites shouldn’t push government to the wall 🤦🏾‍♂️

Learned the hard way. Rest in peace.

My prayers goes to the family

This is painful... Precious may ur soul rest in peace...

💔💔💔💔

OMG! May God comfort his family and the whole Family too. Under the sun and in the rain. With dedication and self respect...

This is what APC govt and Buhari have reduced Nigeria to

So sad....may his soul rest in peace.

Precious Owolabi family should make sure that they sue how can you take a Corp member to cover a violent protest.

May her soul rest in perfect peace

Rest in peace.

R.l.P God rest is soul

President buhari should treat killer herdsmen the same way he's treating Zak then we'll know that he's committed to fight terrorists.

Corp member? Na court go decide this matter

Put up his picture at least. He deserves it. He didn't die for this😫

Rip

May his soul rest in peace. You guys dropped the ball on this. I pray the person responsible for Owolabi's reckless deployment to cover such dangerous protest will be sanctioned.

But wtf would they send a corper to cover that? Someone inexperienced? This is so stupid ffs

You guys will now forget him the way you forgot the Kano correspondent killed by BH. No mention or memorial of any sort.

Our government is responsible for everything that's happening in this country, I wonder they still held Zak in detention despite court order to release him.

If the journalists did not have his PPE which is necessary to cover such protest that has shown to be hostile due to police confrontation. Channels TV should be sued by the family.

Don't keep quite make sure the shites face full wrath of the law. May d soul of d deceased rest in peace.

Channelstv , Why send a young and inexperienced journalist, a corper on youth service to a riot zone? This is inexcusable. And without the necessary bullet proof equipment. You are liable. Condolences to his family.

please can you use his picture... There are conflicting pictures going on round...

Shame ! Journalists should have Personal Protective Equipment 4 journalists 4 their keeps, & trained over their use, deployment & how news is covered & manage in a hostile environment, especially when u have a history of possible fatality with those subject to the story covers.

😭😭😭 i hate this government

There are subtle silence in the land in the midst of several killings going on every day in this country, under the guise of different banditries! Where are the falanas,the charlie boys, the sowores and the likes, that led peaceful protests in the past against the previous govt.?

will not change the conversation to why the government is holding El Zakzakky against court orders or why the police will fire live bullets into a crowd of protesters with women and children. Their conversation will be tilted towards banning Shiites. APC station.

This is very sad. May God almighty grant him internal rest.Amen

How can you send a NYSC Corp member to over such story? Haba mana Adieu

This is so sad. Country with Safety issues 😭

Buhari govt. held Nigerians spelt bound! In previous govt., lesser atrocities, our streets and parks would have been filled up with protesters carrying placards and chatting war songs! Our musicians would have waxed several anti-govt. songs, our activists turned freedom fighters!

Is a very sad story may soul rest in peace

So painful, is this a country... No more value for human life. If our president had adhere to just a simple instruction from the court, the young guy and other victims will still be alive...I weep for my country

May the soul of those who lost their life Rest In Peace

And that's all? Were the Shiites too firing shots or the Police shot him?

It is a shame ! Journalists should have these safety equipment for their keeps, and trained over their use, deployment and how news is covered and manage in a hostile environment, especially when you have a history of possible fatality with those subject to the story covered.

This is really sad

You guys did not give him a common bullet proof vest, your organization killed him. You want to be the first to cover the protest, this is d result. Shame on your management

what a sorry case. Condolences to both channels TV and the Corps member family. When would the NigeriaFG be up and doing?

Next level!!!!!!

What a great loss to Channels 📺... Is a pity, May her gently soul rest in peace... 🙏

lesson, lesson and lessons, May the departed soul rest in paradise

, una no try o. Why send him on such assignment when he is just learning on the job? Or was he a passerby and this happened? This is so sad. May his soul rest in peace.

May his soul rest in peace

Very partisan channel, stopped watching it years ago. is responsible for his death, sending a rookie on a dangerous mission without proper gear.

BUHARI should either release his captive or deal decisively with an extremest Islamic group who have also shown that they are above the law

At least channels is APC propaganda machine... Spin it to his parents... Sad!

Why would a supposedly top TV station send a rookie (a young and inexperienced journalist) to cover such a volatile situation. The death of this young man is inexcusable, unwarranted and the station must be held accountable.

You are so unprofessional and stupid! How can you send a corper to cover a volatile protest with history of fatality like this?!

So sad 😔. I don't know where this country is heading to. May his soul rest in peace. This government sucks.

Why would channels send such novice to report such dicey story? The family should sue channels tv for such negligence.

This is quite sad! An unfortunate and avoidable death! My thoughts and prayers are with his family, management and staff of , and those that lost loved ones in this unfortunate incident. May their souls find eternal repose with the Almighty God.

This is a very sad news.

May his soul rest in peace

u sent an amateur to cover such an bloody event without thinking of her own safety...which reasonable TV station does that?

Shiites are becoming untouchables. This is how it normally begins. An extremest Islamic group resorting to self help. And Govt. is watching

So sad 😔 What an avoidable tragedy If govt negotiate with bandits and insurgents, why not IMN We need peace 🇳🇬 May her soul rest in peace

useless TV station,, so u people can't use her pics to send the news but instead choose to use the violence scene..

I Know Channel's The English People They Will Deny The Child Immediately Saying No Documents Was Given To The Effect To The Best Of Our Knowledge

The thing don reach una las las. Na next level o. I am saddened for the lad but not for OfficialAPCNg TV station . Be professional and speak the truth like you've always done before the advent of APC

Dat bad news

Sad indeed, a corper?

Extra cautions should be taking on corp member on duty because they don't have experience yet and they will also want to satisfy their boss.may her/his soul rest in peace.

😭😭😭😭🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️

His name is Precious Owolabi. You should have used his picture for this announcement and not that of the violence scene.

El rufia is behind it all acting out his master agenda

Is unfortunate for her, to end up that way, after the enthusiasm she had serving her father land. And the buffoon will come out and say' Nigerian youth are lazy' when you criticize the bad things happening, he will say you are not patriotic. Buhari had succeeded in destroying us.

Your religion is not religion of peace. Why is it that only your religion that make trouble in this country. Boko haram Muslim, Fulani herdsmen Muslim, zamfara bandits Muslim, shiite Muslim, NOW I can say south region should GO.

Rip

When you defend a dictator as a media organization, some of the results are what we are seeing... death of an innocent youth.. Chanels why? 😥😥

I am saddened.....!! We are wasting away in this country and its a very sad story...!! God rest your Soul...!!!

Am sorry thinking towards this direction at this critical time, but was it wise to put a Rockie journalist in that kind of situation knowing exactly what those kind of protests has been in the past? She wasn't to be allowed go out there to endanger her life which is now lost.

Very Simple! You guys sent him on arms way! Internship at War Front! Saddened by that.

So sad

RIP

Channelstv you shouldn't have sent the corper on such assignment.. you have staff on your payroll... you just caused a mother an everlasting pain a wound that can never heal....

God rest his soul

RIP. 😢

Rip

Why must you guyz put a corp member on the scene. What happened to your In house journalist, Seun, maope and co.

NYSC... pawn kids.

So channels is only reporting the death of a nobody but fail to tell the world how hopeless buahari govt his and that it is a Democratic govt.killings everywhere

Your culpability in the untimely death of that young man/woman cannot be erased forever! Have we heard of a reporter that died while covering a bit in Syria or Iraq For this one, Una no try at all!! Shame on you.. Stop portraying your selves as 'Best News Channel of the year'

You people killed him.

R.I.P

If na to interview politician, una for send seun go collect brown envelope.. useless media house..

U guys said the police are not shoting this guy blood is on ur head

A once promising news organization became a trash 🗑 and a pawn ♟ game for APC. Nothing survive under a bad government. Why send Nigeria 🇳🇬 youth without experience to cover a war you guys will not report. Tell the world our president is disobeying court order. Simple order.

RIP to him . Really painful. This type of death is more painful than death. Nigeria isn’t worth it at all

What a great loss

His blood is on the head of John Momoh. Why will a youth corper without experience in crisis situation be sent to cover a violent protest. What happened to Ajuri, seunokin and Charles Erukaa.

His name is Precious Owolabi why did you skip that? May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace

The kind of government you support shame

May her soul rest in peace and may the labour of our hero's past not be in vain

May his soul Rest In Peace.

may his soul rest in perfect peace amen

Nigeria

I worry for Nigeria. May her soul Rest in Peace.

Why send a corper to a warzone why not send those apc reporters in channelstv to this suicide mission ,they sent an innocent person to die Shame on you all

Looks like a preamble of more to come except the FG does what is expected; release their leader or prosecute him if he's culpable. Save innocent and responsible members of people's families.

May the lad rest in peace, so sad. This issue needs to be addressed quickly.

May God grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss because this is total wickedness. How can a Corper be allowed to cover something a professional should without proper monitoring? Nija sha☹️

You must be out of your mind to be sad, sending my class mate who is a Corper with no experience yet to cover such an event? You must really be out of your mind to be sad. You had professionals who could have handle such but you sent a Corper. You are not ok. endnysc

This is sad to say the least. 😢

As violent as such event was you sent a mere corpora with less or no training, leaving out your trained field reporters to cool off in their desks.. I believe the use of drones can also be infused into violent coverage for risk management.

Channel TV,why didn't you people provide him bulletproof

Are u just going to sit there & tweet without demanding 4 justice 4 d dead youth corner serving under your organization. You were the one supporting buhari and promoting their incompetence. Now it's gotten to you. Who knows maybe momoh could be next. Demand just 4 d dead👌

A Very unfortunate and avoidable incident took away a PRECIOUS GIFT from our country today. So sad 😔

So sad, May his soul rest in perfect peace ❤️.

This are the mess MBuhari is putting this country into please ask that stupid man if he can clean all this mess under less than 4 years

Sad😢

We were here B4 now.We are making familiar mistake. Some of us advocating freedom of Zakzaky,who were tagged Shiites hav predicted this acts of warfare. Imagine his death in detention.With heavy heart, tears, I condole Dfamily of this corps member & management of .

How can you send a corper to cover such story? RIP Hero

Channels TV are you people happy now, They sent a corper to cover a violent protest. They should explain why.

May he rest in peace.

NYSCnewsMag

RIP RIP RIP?What 's the way out?what's the solution

Rest in peace Precious!🤦‍♀

Idiots & hypocrites. Why don't you tell the world that PoliceNG killed your own?

Wait ooo the enter into the town with all this weapon 👹? Police with two naked eyes the killed who came to beg them,you people are still looking at me ?we are no longer save God😳😳Nigerians we can no longer look oooo,I work with fear in this town👹👹

All i see, smell, feel and touch is an evolutionary genocide that will change the course of this nation for good. We never valued our independence nor democracy because we didn't pay any genuine price for it but all that is about to change.

Indeed the loss of Precious is Deep. Raises alot of Professional Misconduct in-house of . Why send an NYSC trainee staff to such scene without adequate security? You have never questioned this Movement personally. All you do is questionable by this incidence. Terrible!

God help us in this country

He was a Koppa? Oh no! This is sad! Next time report live after a week and ask people what happened and not risk people's life, this is really bad jor

R.I.P to the departed soul

May God grant the parents of the boy and that of those shiite killed today the fortitude to bear the lose

what a tragedy! May the soul of the departed rest in peace

MBuhari is our problem in this country, look at what his reckless attitude is causing us, how can a president be bent on destroying his own country. Being so disobedient to the rule of law. El zakzaky have been set free but the court but this wicked president of ours won't agree

This country is a movie

Without providing protection in the form of bullet proof vest and head protector to this young corper, if we were in saner climes, Channels TV would have been liable regarding workplace investigations.

Puff_Duks The devil gave you a cap and he has collected your head. According to Deji, Nigeria will learn. May the dead Rest In Peace

A day is coming in Nigeria that the gate of Asorock would be pulled down not by a bazooka but the weight of human flesh congeal on it. Shiites/Police clash is a foretaste of terrors to come.

Too bad. This channel supports the government. Too bad

sad news.... Would be unfair to let know that the monster they promoted is indirectly biting them back.. Life's a b**ch

I am sure he wouldn't have been retained after service so why must he be there ? .... May his soul rest in peace . Amen

Reading about the death of our future leaders isn't a big deal to these vagabonds in power anymore.

This guy deserves more than corps member . Say his name

Channel's TV sacrificed Precious Owolabi the minute it connived to birth this monstrosity of an administration ! RIP.

BBoason I hold responsible for death of that young man. How can you sent him out without a cover? Was that Amanpour covered volatile event?

Hmmm! May his soul rest in peace

Very sad! This are avoidable deaths if our rule of law is in force. Let them release on bail if the courts have said so. Violence is no solution to issues of release of El Zaky Zaky! Our thoughts are with you ChannelsTV at this trying time! RIP Precious Owolabi

Why should Channels send an amateur to report war? Why send such an inexperienced corper to his death? And don't you train your cameramen on how to protect themselves when working in such a volatile environment? The joy in that family is CUT OFF forever! SAD.

Hmm Nigerian are Twitter warrior

It's a pity. May the Lord grant you and the parents of the deceased the fortitude to bear the loss

This is sad. Sending prayers to his family.❤

This is saddening 😭

Tribute. May the soul of the departed rest in peace. RipPreciousOwolabi

Channel , you are liable to that young man death , why do u send him to such a dangerous coverage without adequate training. You send that young man on a mission you are aware will be bloody based on previous sect protest without training

Have you all seen the chaos & calamities which alleged president Buhari is causing the Nigerian state🤷🏾‍♂️ Before anyone blame the Shiites protesters, u must first & foremost blame the tyrant president who has severally refused to adhering to the constitution in obeying court order.

When will the killing stop pls, may be when victims will be top men in the country. How many died last week? Wat happened to them? Who are. Ur country is a death trap

One hell of a risky job.

Channels TV sending a youth corper to a war zone without bullet proof vest and head protector? Una no try at all.

Correct your grammer, 'in police attack' not clash.

BolutifeLORDson Rest in peace, Precious Owolabi

If it is true that channel TV sent a corper not their staff to cover such a deadly event and the assignee lost his life in the process.. I urge the deceased family to sue channel TV and demand a huge compensation for such negligence and wicked act...

Another avoidable death of one of Nigeria's incredible potential! Today we lost PRECIOUS. We lost DCP Umar Yet again, we lost several Shiites! All because BUHARI won't obey court orders to release El zakzaky on bail! DarkCloudHovering

Rip to him, weldone on your good job guys, you are appreciated..

They want to turn Nigeria 🇳🇬 to Venezuela 🇻🇪 So they can comfortably say “Buhari has failed we warned you guys “ Old formula 🚶🏻🚶🏻

and you guys can't even mention his name? The guy died in active service and look how you guys announce his death. This is Nigeria.😡😡😡

😔

A couple of days from now it will be condolence massages everywhere and promises. But down the road we will see no change because as usual this too was a timeout. R.I.P

I couldn't hold my emotions as ijeoma oyeator of channels TV was sobbing while saying the incident at the news at 10 today. It's so pathetic ...

Buhari look at what you have caused? Because of your lawlessness and impunity government you're running. A graduate has been shut dead now, but you👉 that didn't have common ssce is ruling a nation like this

Another life cut short or wasted. Reporters covering such protests should be provided with bulletproof vests. May his soul RIP

attack. Apparently they have not.

IMMUNED2 Wawu Sad

Why would you sent him on such task.? I think Corps member should have work limit... you know how dreadful this people are... you shouldn't allow him on such permission even if he insisted.. this is very disheartening and pathetic.. May his soul rest in peace

Channels TV is an irresponsible station. How do you send a journalist to a combat zone to cover news without a ballistic vest? A Level II or Level IIIA would have protected him. One would have thought they would have learnt from the death of their correspondent in Kano in a bomb

Olurops So sad😢... May his soul rest in peace

Why did you send him to cover a violent protest. How qualified was he? You all need to be held accountable for his death.

So so sad. Buhari is to be blamed for his cluelessness and wickedness

May his gentle soul rest in peace Journalist in this country, it's time to fight for your own.

So the Shiites Now carry guns? And u still call that a peaceful protest?

Why would sent an inexperience lad to such place, you caused his untimely death. RIP kid.

So sad. RIP

A young man just meet his death just like that being born in Nigeria is a threat on its where is safe,nothing works,no job.

Who would have thought the young lad serving his country would have passed away today in such tragic situations. NYSC program in Nigeria is a mandatory torture. Easily the worse government in years who have no value for the safety of human lives.

What a pity😫 how would his family be feeling now!

Broke down earlier when Ijeoma Onyeato was reading the sad news and untimely death of Prescious Owolabi...can MBuhari for the sake of innocent blood that are been wasted since 2015 he took over for the first time obey court order and free the Shiites leader and his wife

So sad 😭

My mood right now 😠 as much as I really loved the blood of this young man is solely on their hands. A very unprofessional act a Corper to a violent protest to do what!!!!

This was really terrible to read. should take responsibility for this. What was his qualifications for such a role. There should be some indemnification segalink .

This is rather so unfortunate and sad May God console his family and may his soul Rest in Peace.

I am symphaized with you,may soul rest in perfect peace. Sorry my best 📺 TV. These Shitte Islamic group ,they are not well organisation.Govmt should teaching them lesson. channeltv sorry.

This is very sad. May God console her family and loved ones.

So sad! This country keep shutting out dreams

I told y'all NYSC is a scam and also a death trap you people refuse to listen🤦🏾‍♂️ NYSC is fraud the government should end it now.

The protest went peacefully as you reported kano rerun election was gone peacefully you are rapping what you sowed

Sad one😢😢😢😢😢

Sad Indeed! May God console the family. The Nigerian government must not take for granted the resolve of IMN. The Houthis represent a text book example of that resolve.

Why would you send a very young and inexperienced boy to such place to report what? You simply sent him to die... Very cruel of you oh poor boy! 😭😭😭

Rest in peace corp very bad that the government no longer cares about the lives of her citizens

😱 😱 IT IS WELL!

Wtf!

Jesus 🤭🤭🤭

I feel for his family. Rip bro

What a great lost... May his soul rest in peace. when will killing end?. God will need great Nigeria...

What a sad news,

His name is Precious Owolabi.

So sad

So sad. Nigeria isn't a promising State. God rest your soul lad.

Sad 😔.. May his soul rest in peace Amen

mgana50 This madness was avoidable

This is the part that totally breaks my heart. Despite all odds it is Corpers like this serving their father's land passionately that give hope and trust in youth development in institutions, and communities in NG. I hope Shiites issues in NG will be managed better henceforth.

So sad. ☹️

Rest on ...heart break to us all

😭😭😭😭😭

Terrible

This is really sad and very unfortunate. I pray God comforts his family and every grieving family. Amen!

Oh Nigeria.. When will this stop. Just like that he/she is gone. Na wa oh. Who's next?

So sad... And Channels TV is the greatest supporter of this present government.

So sad RIP to the deceased

So sad

I pray President Buhari' stubbornness, and lack of respect for the rule of law, will not eventually lead Nigeria to the precipice of total anarchy

I hope you do more than just to post the death

The mistake of one man... Has caused a lot of lives.. Today

💔
