SLAIN CHANNELS TV REPORTER WINS CNN POSTHUMOUS AWARD

The Cable News Network (CNN) on Sunday recognized the contributions of murdered Channels Television's reporter, Enenche Akogwu and Zakariya Isa of Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) to journalism in Africa.

Both Journalists died while covering the violence in Northern Nigeria and were both this year's recipients of the Free Press Africa Award, for their work in Nigeria.

Zakiriya, cameraman for the NTA, was killed in October 2011, and Enenche, a news reporter with Channels Television, was shot and killed, having covered the Kano bomb blast in January this year.

May their souls rest in peace.
