Teenage Money: This Happened In My Village.. Aku in IgboEtiti LGA Of Enugu State.....

As an insider can you give us more insight? Was he beefing with some one home or abroad? My condolence to your entire community

Undone by his own kinsmen. Hmmn, This is really sad! for coming back to help his community he is sent six 'ft' below, its a pity. Reasons such as this amount to why some don't even consider travelling back home to their villages. Evil people who will never appreciate others. For no good reason

Nah... He hasnt returned Home for long...

Maybe The 'badbelle people' heard of his returning and Plotted His Killing...

He was shot 5times In the Waist.... Then Rushed to The Hospital where he Died...

Even, The Boiz Dropped the Car They Came with and drove off with One Mr. Akubue's Car..

The Police Were Called Upon bt The Foolish Inspector Said That not His Concern... Imagine!!!

Instead of really helping the poor, u want to be revered & worshiped & be counted as one of the most important people in the community, but hey jealous & "Obiakpó" people abounds, they also want reverence & worship directed @ them also. . . Let the whole world know dat NIGERIA is safe, problem only arises when u come back home and start parading ur-self as God-sent, , then u r @ the mercy of "NDI-OBIAKPO"

Thank you very much. I am glad you made the above comment. Tell me why such a society will be taken seriously? I hope those defending daily atrocities in Nigeria will debunk your statement with their ambiguous excuses

pDude: Chei! If to say the guy knew, he for just stay put jejely for US.


After, some people will tell me to come back to naija to re-invest in that economy. Thunder faya anybody that opens their dirty mouth to tell me any thing about returning.

I doubt if you live outside the shore of Nigeria. Your premature & weak utterances do not show that you have had any privilege to travel out of your village let alone Nigeria.

No one shld blame govt 4 dis.
During the investigation, the police should beam their searchlight on the medical docs wit hospitals in the area. The motive 4 d killing may be centred arnd the purpose of visit. They want to stop dt purpose by all means.

Hmm seriously? Did you actually sit down and type this?- You should be on the watch list also. God help us all

The in-thing now is once you have made small money and you are willing to spend it on your security, seek police protection. It's costly but it is better than being wasted.

Nigerians are wicked to themselves. If that guy had a Hilux truck with 3 policemen inside trailing him as escort, those murderers wont try that Sh.1t.

WAM?:

yes o! i had to type this. . . the blame game is getting 2 much. . . .

The heart of man is Wicked.

This is very pathetic and totally uncalled-for! Just picture the 'film' of this man, born some 56 yrs ago probably to a hustling parent and probably struggled his way up the educational ladder just to become somebody in LIFE! Now, he had achieved his dream of a 'fulfiled man' giving back to his community only 2 b mowed down in his prime
Lesson: LIFE IS NOT FAIR ESPECIALLY FOR WE HUMANS!
May your gentle soul continue to rest in peace in the bosom of your LORD!

They envied his glory bt they dnt know His Story

Sounds like a targeted assasination. Hope he didnt become rich by cheating people in dirty deals.

His Family Is Rich.... He Struggled For His Wealth.. He Is A Medical Doctor By Profession

This is one of the reasons why Nigeria is still where she is today. What a pity!

Good to note but where i am, most of targeted killings of returnees are traceable to victims cheating people in bad deals that cant be taken to police. RIP to him.

WHAT IS THIS A RAP CONTEST ?

ogugua88: Do not be a GEJ, please. Because it's happening in other places does not make it any less of a problem nor any less of acrime. Whether it's in Enugu or Toronto, murder is wrong and should be condemned.

ßŮϯ dz man had been so healthy nd alive when he was still in d us, just bcus he came bek to 9ja to do sth gud 4 his community nd he was murdered, could he had been shot dead if he was stil in d us? Dat is d point my dear, we knw thes evil thingz happen in every part of d world buh 9ja own don too much


Hapi nu year in advance dear

RIP to the dead. Why is no body blaming boko haram?

obadiah777: WHAT IS THIS A RAP CONTEST ?

i dnt understand

Real-Mccoy:

Your statement make no sense. .....No pun intended. What happened to providing condusive environment for would be investors? Have you don research on countries like Rwanda and Angola?

Looking back in history, No environment is conducive until it is invested in ...... America, Australia and more recently Dubai, Lekki. You have to collectively envisage positive change otherwise it will never happen. AS in all things in life I think it is always best to make sure YOUR 'home' is improved before you start improving others.

airmark:

Thats a good advice, but why not stay where you are safer?

Where is 'safe' ?

Teenage Money: This Happened In My Village.. Aku in IgboEtiti LGA Of Enugu State.....

RIP Mr. Edoga

No one. But I know that your story won't be on Nairaland's front page. Anyways, thank God you were delayed.

If I may ask, how many countries have you been to and stayed more than 2weeks excluding the ones you mentioned above? Its kinda laughable to hear peeps comparing Nigeria to countries that obtained their democracy 100 years ago.I have stayed in Nigeria and understand the mentality of Nigerians (OYO). I have been to other African countries like Rwanda and Angola for work assignment, these are countries that were less than Nigeria in terms of development and free of colonial entities. Singapore, Malaysia and Nigeria should be paired to see which of them her citizens are more structured. Development is not about individual effort it also includes government presents. Do you think IMF give loans to individuals for development? Eastern Nigeria can never be compared to South west because it lacks federal presents even though most infrastructures out there are privately owned yet development is moving at slow pace. We can not eat our cake and have it

This is pure gabbage, sir.
There is a reason why one country has a life expectancy of 80years while another has hers at 45.
If you live in a high violent environment, don't blame the gods if you get mowed down in your prime.
Truth is we have become so selfish and materialistic that a governor will rather use the state resources to buy a private jet he flies in alone than to fix the roads that will benefit the whole community. The youths on the other hand want to ride flashy cars at the expense of other people's lives.
This victim of senseless murder would still have been alive if he did not come home to help his people. It is not that complex to decipher.

Thank you. Superstition is what people eat and breath in Nigeria. How many Nigerians in Nigeria go for random medical check up? Same Nigerians die of heart attack or cancer and choose to place blame on their innocent relatives. The society is decaying and if I am lying we all wont be out here talking about it.

muktarl: He was among a select group of Nigerian professionals from the University town of Nsukka in Enugu State based in far-away United States of America, clamoring for a better medical care for the seemingly forgotten majority in our country Nigeria. They swore an oath of allegiance and commitment in God’s Own country to alleviate the suffering of their people back home.

Their credo and unalloyed commitment was to raise money and come back home to take care of their massively impoverished populace that were unable to get proper medical care in their oil -rich fatherland.

They therefore, formed what they called ‘’Nsukka Professionals in US’’ and embarked upon fund raising for the construction of an ultra-modern medical diagnostic centre in the University town. For years, they have been tasking themselves and raising funds for the project. Then in December this year, the professionals decided to come back home and actualize their pet project. They all trouped back home for a formal launch slated for today.

But tragedy struck in the early hours of Wednesday preceding the D-day. One of their prominent members and an arrow head of the project from inception, a reputable Financial Economist, Ogbo Bennard Edoga, 56, was slain by unknown gun men in his village, Aku, Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area, LGA, just 30 kilometers from Nsukka township.

The victim had gone to the village to see both his aged mother and twin sister whose husband was opening his new house. After that, he, in company of his elder brother and two of his nephews aged 12 and 10 respectively, decided to visit some of his kinsmen. On approaching the entrance to the man’s residence, he parked his car and alighted with his briefcase after pleading with the other occupants of the car to give him few minutes to felicitate with the owner of the house.
US-returnee-Enugu

The deceased, Ogbo Bennard Edoga

Eyewitness said as he was about entering through a small gate, a car suddenly pulled up in front of his car. Two boys emerged from the car leaving the third person inside. The two boys approached the occupants of his car and asked where the driver was. Before the occupants could answer them, they sighted the victim entering through the small gate and they quickly pulled out their guns and fired some shots.

They reportedly rushed towards him and ordered him to kneel down. As he was obeying their orders, they snatched the briefcase and ransacked his pockets. While this was going on, the victim was passionately pleading with them to spare his life stating that they should take whatever they wanted.

Unfortunately, as they were leaving the scene with the briefcase, one of them who was clutching an AK47 assault rifle retraced his steps and released several shots into his hip angle. The bullet penetrated through the waist and pierced his innards. Blood started flowing freely.

While the gun men were coming out from the compound, they accosted a retired SSS official from the town who was driving in his car and on overhearing the commotion, stopped to ascertain what was happening. They confronted him and one of them reportedly ordered that he should be killed but his colleague said they should leave him alone. They therefore, pushed him out of his car and fled in it abandoning their operational car.

It was gathered that the bewildered villagers who thronged the scene quickly rushed Ogbo to nearby Attah Memorial Hospital, where unfortunately, he was declared Dead On Arrival, DOA. The incident threw both the community and the entire University town of Nsukka into utter confusion and shock.

Crime Guard learnt that youths from both the community and Odenigbo area in Nsukka main town where the deceased grew up started grouping to carry out a violent demonstration against the brutal killing of one of their foremost sons whom they described as a “messiah and philanthropist” that was working hard to alleviate their sufferings. It was the timely intervention of a one- time Chairman of Nsukka Local Government Area and former member of the House of Representatives, Alex Ezeh and other elders that stopped what could have been a bloody protest by the aggrieved youths.

Meanwhile, it was reliably gathered that few minutes after the incident, the Police Area Commander in Nsukka, Ros-Amson Halladu and his military counterpart, Lt. Shuabu, in-charge of Nsukka Urban patrol quickly swung into action and blocked all entrance and exits to both the community and other neighboring towns.

Police sources said they quickly mobilized their men and commenced frantic search and patrol of the areas. Their efforts paid off as they were able to recover the vehicle used by the fleeing gun men at 9th mile near Enugu . Following this development, they mounted heavy surveillance and house-to-house search in and around the area and beyond.

When Crime Guard visited the family house of the victim, the two teenagers who witnessed the ugly incident were said to still be in shock. One of them, a 12-year-old, was overheard lamenting pathetically that he and his sibling have finally lost the opportunity of getting educated because the victim promised to educate them to all levels after the recent death o
f their father.

Few minutes later, a group of teenagers numbering about 10 came into the compound crying uncontrollably. They told Crime Guard that the victim gave them scholarship and had returned to renew his financial commitment before he was brutally murdered.

Following this development, it was also gathered that other returnees from overseas and even those from different parts of the country who came for both the yuletide and the launching of the project had to flee for their lives. Some of them that were already landed in Lagos from abroad were reportedly said to have hastily flown back to their bases for fear of being killed.

As at the time of going to press, it was not possible to ascertain the motive for the gruesome murder but police sources hinted that all hands were on deck and they were not leaving any stone unturned in their desperate quest to unravel the mystery surrounding the death of the US returnee. According to one of the sources, “we will also spread our dragnets abroad with a view to finding out the motive and if it has to do with the project.”
