Popular radio presenter, Itiat Zion butchered to death by unknown assailants in Calabar
A popular Efik Master of Ceremonies and radio presenter, Itiat Zion has been gruesomely murdered by yet to be identified assailants in Calabar, Cross River.
A local newspaper, CrossRiverWatch, described Itiat Zion as a popular anchor of major Efik traditional marriages in Calabar, apart from his duties as a radio presenter.
It was gathered that Zion was killed close to a popular hotel located along the Murtala Mohamed highway on Saturday, November 6.
He was said to be waiting by the roadside to get a vehicle back home when his assailants came out of a vehicle and butchered him to death.
“The boys just came out from a vehicle and butchered him to death,” a close source told CRW.
His colleague and popular Efik MC, Koko Dear, who went to pick his corpse at the morgue, said that the murder may be a case of mistaken identity.
Late Zion, together with Koko Dear and others presented a popular Efik program, “Uwem Ye Ido” on FAD 93.1 FM Calabar.
