Nigerians react to killing of Fish Magnet

@iamVictorChinda

"I just saw a video of a boy saying “Fish Magnet is dead.” I watched closely to understand what really happened it was a case of kidnapping. I never met or knew him personally, but I admired the way he promoted his fish business boldly, fearlessly, and with so much creativity. It’s the same fishery business many others do, but he took his hustle to another level, and for that, I respected him. It’s heartbreaking and unfortunate that Nigeria happened to him."
