JOURNALISTS MOURN VANGUARD ENTERTAINEMENT EDITOR

The Nigerian media was thrown into mourning yesterday over the sudden death of the Vanguard Newspaper’s Entertainment Editor, Ogbonnaya Amadi. The journalist, who would have marked his 50th birthday by December this year, was said to have died in his office after an asthma attack. His colleagues made efforts to rush him to the  nearby hospital for treatment but met with heavy traffic on the Mile 2-Apapa Express Way, Lagos. He died on the way to the hospital.

Family members, friends and media colleagues thronged his Ogba, Ikeja residence yesterday to console his grief-stricken widow and children, who were yet to come to terms with the news of the sudden death of their father and breadwinner.

So so sad. May God give his family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
