Our correspondent gathered that some of the victim’s colleagues immediately rushed him to the hospital where he was confirmed dead.
The President of the Tricycle Union in Ogbogoro Community, Ivumba Friday, said, “Nsikak Esieme was murdered this morning by one Osisi that has been terrorising Ogbogoro and our people daily. We have been reporting this matter to OSPAC, even to the police.”
The deceased’s elder brother, Lucky, while narrating what transpired, first demanded the release of his late brother’s corpse to the family. When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the incident but said it was a case of two persons fighting each other. “We are aware of the case but from what the Divisional Police Officer told me, it was a case of two fighting. He was beaten to a coma and was rushed to the hospital where he was confirmed dead.
“Efforts are on top gear to apprehend the suspect and make him face the law,” Iringe-Koko, a Superintendent of Police, said.All rights reserved.
