Dele Giwa: An unresolved case, yet a legacy that endures
Some voices become dangerous not because they shout, but because they tell the truth clearly.
Born in 1947, Dele Giwa was a fearless Nigerian journalist and co-founder of Newswatch magazine.
At a time when silence was safer, he chose investigation, accountability, and courage.
His writing challenged power and expanded the boundaries of press freedom in Nigeria.
In October 1986, Giwa lost his life after a parcel bomb was delivered to his home an incident that sent shockwaves through the nation and forever changed conversations around journalism, safety, and freedom of expression in Nigeria.
Decades later, his case remains unresolved, but his legacy endures as a reminder of the price truth can demand and the role of the press in a fragile democracy.
