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.
