President Jonathan's official photographer shot by unknown gunmen

Callistus Ewelike, a photojournalist with the News
Agency of Nigeria & current official photographer
of President Jonathan was reportedly shot at
close range in front of his house in the Nyanya
area of Abuja around 10pm on Monday January
13th.
Callistus, who is attached to the State House,
Abuja, was said to be on his way home from
work when he was attacked. Sources in the area
where it happened said two men, one on a bike
and another standing were noticed in front of his
house waiting for him. As Callistus made his way
into his compound, the man standing by his
gate walked up to him and shot him at close
range on the neck. Both men fled the scene
immediately after the shooting. Callistus was
rushed to the National Hospital where he is
currently receiving treatment.
This is the second time the NAN photographer
and father or two would be attacked. Gunmen
forced their way into his home late last year
where they took his camera, laptop and other
work tools.
