Affluent citizens of Enugu State,
especially returnees from abroad
are now shunning public
functions, even as they have
beefed up security in their
homes. This is due to the killing
of Dr. Ogbo Edoga, a United
States-based financial economist,
by gunmen on Boxing Day in his
home town, Aku, Igbo-Etiti LGA of
the state. Edoga was killed on
December 26 this year by
gunmen in the house of his
kinsman where he stopped over
while returning to his village
home in Aku on the fateful day.
Since his murder, the prominent
member of ‘Nsukka USA’, an
elitist organization of
professionals of Enugu North
extraction, his home town, Aku,
and Odenigbo area of Nsukka
urban where the deceased was
born, have been thrown into
mourning as villagers and
residents gather in clusters,
looking moody and discussing
the tragic incident.
The late Edoga left the United
States mainly to raise fund for
the construction of ultra-modern
medical diagnostic centre sited at
Ede-Oballa in Nsukka Local
Government Area, in an effort by
the organization to improve
health care delivery in Enugu
North senatorial district. The
killers of Dr. Edoga were said to
have shot him in the chest and
waist after snatching a briefcase
from him, even as he pleaded
with his killers to spare his life.
The hoodlums reportedly
escaped in a car they snatched
from a retired officer of the State
Security Services (SSS).
Information reaching the Sunday
Sun said the snatched car has
been spotted at 9th Mile Corner
in Udi LGA, about 15 kilometres
to Enugu. Edoga’s in-law, Hon
Ogbo Asogwa, an ex-lawmaker,
has expressed shock at the tragic
death of Edoga, describing it as
most gruesome and barbaric.
Commenting on Edoga’s killing,
President of ‘Nsukka USA’, Eddy
Agbo, said in a terse text
message: “Nsukka has suffered a
great tragedy with the senseless
and untimely death of our
brother, Ogbo Edoga, on
December 26, 2012. ‘Nsukka USA’
has agreed to hold an abridged
version of the event with
candlelight vigil at the Princess
Alexandria Auditorium, University
of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), in
honour of Edoga.
We are resolved to affirm and
advance the great works of our
fallen hero, Ogbo. He lost his life
serving our people. Please, join
‘Nsukka USA’ to honour him and
drive his passion forward.

ekt_bear: Damn. Why did they kill him?

ekt,

you said why did they kill him.....or you meant "when" did they kill him!
Im telling you, gambari and yanmiri were created from the left over primordial soil dumped out from Ile Ife. There is not a distinct difference in their savage nature.

We have a wicked system that has produced some very wicked elements who are bent on out doing one another in wickedness. God help us.

In delta state 15 people per day on the average are either kidnapped or murdered.

Police detectives in Asaba Delta State have arrested a kidnap kingpin who has been on their wanted list in the last two years.

According to the police spokesman in the state, DSP Charles Muka who confirmed the arrest of the kingpin, he said he was  arrested in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area of the State.

While saying that the gang members specialized in sending threatening text messages to unsuspecting business men and women including making GSM calls to their victims, DSP Muka explained that the suspect had been asking his victims’ relations to pay ransom before they are released.

He said that on November 8, 2012, one of their victims, Mrs. Orumgbe Veronica reported to the police that some kidnappers were threatening to kidnap her if she did not pay N50million ransom to them. The police spokesman however, identified the numbers as follows; 08068113653, 08168837108, 08138762748 and 08121104769, adding that the police acted on a tip off and swung into action. 

According to them, they monitored the bank transactions of account number 0029593154 of a new generation bank the suspects gave to the woman into which she was to pay the ransom.

He said that based on intelligence gathering and collaboration with the bank officials, one Osemeke Kingsley, the owner of the account and the leader of the gang was arrested.
