Considered one of the founding fathers of Nigerian Photojournalism, Mr. Peter Obe died on Sunday (September 1, 2013) at the age of 81. An award winning photographer, he was key in helping the world to have a visual image of the horror that happened during the Nigerian Civil War. The history of photography in Nigeria will not be complete without the mention of his name.

Rest in Peace, great one.
