A journalist based in Ibadan, Oyo State, Ojo Peter, has been shot dead by suspected armed robbers.

Enahoro said eyewitnesses revealed that despite Ojo shouting that the bag contained no money, the robbers still shot him in the back before dispossessing him.
The late Ojo, a former reporter with Parrot Extra who later worked with Daily Monitor, was mourned by colleagues after the Oyo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) announced his passing on September 7.
Enahoro added that the police at Orita Challenge Division contacted the family through his brother’s damaged phone which was recovered at the scene.
The Oyo State Police Command has confirmed the incident.
Its spokesperson, CSP Adewale Osifeso, said two suspects linked to the attack were intercepted at Imolefalafia.
