This rare photo shows Newswatch editor-in-chief Dele Giwa in what appears to be a moment of intense exchange, flanked by security officers during a legal matter in the 1980s.
On October 19, 1986, Giwa was assassinated by a parcel bomb at his residence in Ikeja, Lagos—a tragedy that remains unresolved. His death became a symbol of the dangers faced by journalists in Nigeria.
