Late Gavin Macfayden (TCIJ.org) |
WikiLeaks director and founder of the Centre for Investigative Journalism Gavin MacFadyen has died at age 76. The cause of death is a longtime battle with lung cancer. He died on Saturday. So many online tributes have been posted including one from WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange.
“We are extremely sad to announce the death of Gavin MacFadyen, CIJ’s Founder, Director and its leading light,” the Centre for Investigative Journalism team wrote on its Twitter.
Gavin was a fighter and one of those I looked up to for good quality investigative journalism, something Nigerians hate and still alien to the enemies of truth. Rest in Peace Gavin--KOO
