7 Journalist all staff of the Plateau Radio Television Corporation (PRTV) Rayfield late Tuesday night escaped death by the whiskers when their vehicle came under heavy attack by Miscreants at Dandinkowa Jos South local government council of the state.
Also, the vehicle in which the newsmen were in was badly damaged by the miscreants.
Our correspondent reports that the 7 Journalists were returning home in a vehicle that was conveying staff on Night duty to their respective homes at 10:30 pm 17/08/2021 at the close of the station.
One of the Journalists who escaped the sad incident told our correspondent that their vehicle was badly vandalized.
NUJ trains 140 Bauchi journalists in the past year, says Chairman
In his words, we thank God because if the attack was successfully executed, our organization would have been burying seven staff of their dedicated staff but thank God we survived by the whisker.
We ran into a roadblock which we all thought was manned by the police and vigilante just to be descended upon by the miscreants who came out from every direction. He added.
Reacting to this development, the Chairman of Nigeria Union Journalists (NUJ) Plateau State Council Paul Jatau condemned the unwarranted assault on the newsmen and called on security operatives to be alert.
