The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has demanded justice over the death of a broadcaster in Edo State, Hillary Odia, who was killed by cultists on the Eve of Christmas.

Odia, a staff member of Independent Television and Radio, was murdered on Sunday night around 2nd East Circular in Benin City, the state capital.

A spokesperson for the Edo State Police Command, Chidi Nwabuzor, confirmed the incident.

Nwabuzor disclosed that “a sizeable number of arrests of the secret cult members of various cult groups has been made in different locations in the state and the suspects would soon be charged for prosecution”.

Meanwhile, the NUJ in Edo State has charged security agencies, especially the Nigeria Police Force to unravel the circumstances surrounding the murder of the broadcaster.

The union prayed for the repose of the soul of its fallen soldier and urged his family to take solace in the fact that Odia would be remembered on the positive side of history.
