Dimgba Igwe a renowned Journalist and one of the pioneer Editors of the Sun Newspaper is dead.
Dimgba Igwe we learnt was killed by a hit and run car in what appears to be an assassination while jogging this morning around his residence in Okota area of Lagos where he lives.
The Newspaper columnist who worked with defunct Concord and later
became the pioneer Editor of the Sun Newspapers with Mike Awoyinfa was
sacked by Orji Uzor Kalu few years ago over his stand against Kalu's
interference in the paper.
Mr Igwe and Awoyinfa floated a
paper that didn't survive as Kalu pleaded with him to come back. Igwe
who is from Igbere accepted partially to maintain his column, he was
later made the Vice chairman editorial board of the Sun but that did not
change his principle as he continued to challenge Kalu's unprofessional
style of running the Sun Newspapers
We gathered that Mr.
Dimgba Igwe who is popular with the entire work force has become a thorn
In Ouks flesh as he confronted the publisher over the 8 months salary
he is owing them. A staff of the SUN told us that Dimgba had a shouting
match with kalu few days ago on the salary issue. Igwe told kalu to bury
his face in shame as he can't pay them. It was learnt that kalu who was
visibly shaken swore to deal with Igwe.
However, according to
an insider report, accusing fingers are being pointed at kalu for
Igwe's mysterious death. As at the time of writing this report, some SUN
NEWSPAPERS Staff have deserted the Kirikiri area office of the Sun
Newspapers.
The Publisher of the SUN, Kalu yet to visit the
family, he is said to have been in Lagos. Every phone contact made to
get him to comment on the death of Mr. Dimgba were unsuccessful.
RIP Oga Dimgba but your killers will not hide forever
Too bad. When will he stop?
ReplyDeletePeople like OUK should nerver be allowed to take public office again.
ReplyDeletePls be sure of ur publication on Orji Uzo Kalu. TA Orji is even worst than OUK. Both are bad in governance of Abia State. I pray that God will send Abia a deliverer. TAO and his Son are like OUK and the mother. They have finished the whole buildings in Umuahia. Who owns the former Timber shed?
