Channels TV State Correspondent Is Dead

Channels Television mourns the death of their state house correspondent, Chukwuma Onuekwusi, who died at Zenith Medical and Kidney Center in the Garki area of Abuja, in the early hours of Tuesday.

“He first fell sick in March but we didn’t see this coming,” one of the deceased’s colleague told TheCable.

The reporters at the presidential villa received the news of his death with shock.

Some of them took to social media to honour the late journalist.

“I have lost a colleague, friend and brother. Chukwuma Onuekwusi was a good man. He went beyond being a colleague on the beat, he qualified to be called a friend indeed. He was always calling me, “My friend, Olalekan” and I always responded by saying ‘Chukwu, Chukwu, Chukwu’,” Olalekan Adetayo of PUNCH, wrote on Facebook.
