This is what you get when you serve a country running on autopilot. Zero leadership skill.... Rest in Peace, may the lord grant your family the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.

When incompetence rules,what you get is death on all sides,to everyone who lost their lives,may their souls rest in peace

Precious good night. You have fought your own war and paid the ultimate price for the wobbling country. There was indeed a country!

channelstv should be held responsible for his death

After all these years of struggles😢 Rest on brother Ayo

May God comfort the family

This is to show that our country Nigeria is no longer safe for anybody. A country that has no regard for human lifes. This country and our so called leaders has failed us.

May he soul rest in peace God knows the best But as a journalist in this country, when you are heading to an event,there must give a security that we secured you, either there we be violence or not

So sorry

So painful

RIP fellow compatriot.

The more I see this news, the more I'm annoyed. For goodness sake, I know people need to learn, but don't keep sending corp members to different battlefields. It's so unfair and painful. Safety of corp members is often overlooked. Now they have to bury their colleague. So sad!

RIP

Avoidable disaster. But my leaders prefer anarchy to peace

may his soul rest in peace. Sad, really sad.

I really feel so pained... Gone just like that

He wasn't a member of IMN, neither was he a security official. An innocent Corps member that paid for the stupidity of security officials and gross incompetence of the government in handling conflicts. RIP Precious Owolabi

Rip

channelstv should have sent MaupeO to cover that scene. She needs to move out from the comfort of mainstream media to mainstreet journalism. She is too abstract. Pls, improve ur safety schemes for your war correspondents. Nigeria is at war.

And the wicked continue to do more wickedly...

Honestly, the parent to the deceased child needs to sue Channels tv. The young man was supposed to 'serve' and not thrown into lions den

2 things come to mind here: 1. Nigerian hospitals don't derive in savings lives rather but money. 2. How can Channels TV send an inexperienced journalist to cover protest that could lead to violence without body armor.

Unfortunate. Nigeria of our dream. I hope it's not fading away?

If El-Zakzaky had been released on bail.and asked to face trail we would probably have saved some lives

What kind of a country is this for God sake 😢😢😢😢

So sad

Gods willing, My kids won’t go through this death trap callled NYSC.
