Missing journalist Tordue Salem
By GARBA MUHAMMAD, Kaduna
The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), FCT Council, has tasked police, Department of State Service (DSS) and other security agencies in the nation’s capital to be decisive in locating a missing journalist Mr. Tordue Salem.
Salem, a staffer of Vanguard Newspapers who covers the House of Representatives, has been missing since Wednesday, October 13.
The Tiv native was reportedly last seen on the evening of Wednesday, October 13, 2021.
A statement on Sunday, signed by Emmanuel Ogbeche and Ochiaka Ugwu, chairman and secretary of NUJ FCT council respectively, tasked the police and DSS to redouble action to unravel the mystery surrounding Mr. Salem’s whereabouts.
“For all of us journalists in Abuja, we have been on edge these past few days over the mysterious disappearance of our colleague and friend, Mr. Tordue Salem.
“It is worrying that an adult will simply varnish into thin air without a trace. This is unacceptable and we urge the police and DSS to rise up to the occasion and provide answers to this troubling situation,” the statement said.
The statement called on fellow journalists to remain hopeful, prayerful and offer any lead that could be useful in finding Salem.
