Six journalists were killed in a tragic car crash on the Gombe‑Yola highway on December 29, 2025.
The reporters were heading to an assignment when their vehicle lost control, resulting in the fatal wreck; several others were injured and rushed to hospital. The loss has sent shockwaves through the local media community, with tributes pouring in for the victims.
Other recent road incidents in Gombe have also involved journalists—for example, a convoy accident earlier in the year that left a driver dead—but the most recent and deadliest was the six‑journalist crash.
