Unknown gunmen who stormed Okigwe area of Imo state few days ago, reportedly killed a businessman identified as Nnamdi Obijiaku, who was on his way home.
It was gathered that before the businessman died, he was rushed to the Federal medical center in Umuahia, Abia state after the attack – due to the ‘unavailability’ of good hospitals in Okigwe area. His death came few months after he tied the nuptial knot with his wife.
According to online sources, he will be buried today at his hometown in Okigwe. Friends of the deceased are already penning down tributes to him.

This is coming few days after the Imo State Police Command confirmed the arrest of two persons, Chukwudi Ezeala and Chizoba Ihedioha, for allegedly killing an Imo born Spain based businessman, Jude Onye, in an attempt to snatch his Samsung tablet.
The state Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike, described the suspects as “miscreants”. He explained that two other suspects were at large, adding that the gang shot the victim on February 17 while he was trying to scale a fence to escape.
Ezike said, “The two murder suspects, in company with two others, on February 17 robbed and murdered one Jude Onye, who just returned from Spain.
“The victim and others were drinking at a joint along Amainyi Obowo when the hoodlums struck and robbed them of their GSM handsets and other valuables and in the process killed the victim.
“One Highlander Jeep without registration number and one Toyota Corolla with the number plate, WER 729 LC, suspected to have been stolen were recovered from them.
“The suspects have confessed to the crime and will soon appear in court.”
