The Imo State correspondent for Trust TV d*ed over the weekend in his apartment in Lagos.
According to the Daily Trust, neighbours found his body on Saturday morning, September 7, after noticing he hadn’t responded to several knocks on his door and subsequently forced it open.
Ajibade is survived by his wife and three children, who live in Imo State.
He had recently buried his father-in-law in Imo State, with support from various groups, including the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Correspondents’ Chapter, demonstrating solidarity at the funeral.
In response, the Chief Operating Officer of Trust TV, Ibrahim Shehu Adamu, described Ajibade as a dynamic and passionate reporter whose energy and dedication brought life to every story he covered.
“His sudden passing is a profound loss to all of us at Trust TV, and his vibrant presence will be deeply missed. Ajibade’s journalistic excellence and engaging reporting style made him a valuable member of our team,” Adamu said.
“His stand-ups brought stories to life, and his absence leaves a void that cannot be filled. We mourn his untimely passing.”
In his condolence message, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State described the deceased as a hardworking, committed, dutiful and God-fearing journalist who plied his trade responsibly, ensuring that he did not compromise on the ethics of the media profession he belonged to.
The governor extended his sincere condolences to the young family and aged mother at this challenging time in their lives.
