#OnThisDay, October 19, 1986, barely two years after the launch of Newswatch, Nigeria’s first news magazine, its Editor-in-Chief, Dele Giwa, was gruesomely assassinated with an unprecedented letter bomb at his home in Lagos. He was just 39.

To this day, Giwa’s killers remain unknown; and his family and loved ones are yet to get justice. #HistoryVille
