The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria, SWAN, Kaduna State Chapter has expressed sadness over the death of a veteran Sports Journalist, Dominic Eze Uzu who died in a ghastly motor accident along Kaduna-Zaria road.
” The News of his death on Tuesday was shocking to all members of SWAN in Kaduna State. We share in the pain and deeply identify with his family, friends and the entire NUJ in this moment of grief.
” Kaduna State SWAN regretted that the deceased departed in a very painful way when his services were most needed to help strengthen SWAN and journalism in Kaduna”.
This was contained in a statement jointly signed by the Chairman and Secretary of Kaduna State SWAN, Comrade Jacob Zango and Comrade Abdulwaheed Olayinka Adubi respectively and made available to newsmen.
While describing his death as a great loss to journalism, SWAN urged Kaduna media practitioners not to be deterred by the death of the former Treasurer and Secretary of NUJ, Kaduna Council.

As we pray that God Almighty forgive him of his short comings, we also pray that  God Almighty gives his family the fortitude to bear the loss.
