The gruesome murder of Tony Eze, a 39-year-old International businessman based in Abuja and a
trader at the Abuja Aluminium market, have been
unravelled by detectives attached to the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad, Force Headquarters, Abuja. The
late Eze, from Umuagede village in Nsukka L.G.A. of
Enugu State met his untimely death after a night
out with friends when assasins hired by his best
friend shot him dead
Eyewitness account said he was shot dead by two
young men on a motor bike who closed in on him
while he was trying to avoid a porthole, just a few
meters away from the refreshment garden at
Tungama area of Zuba in the outskirts of Abuja.


According to Vanguard, The deceased reportedly left
his shop about 5pm and got to the garden where he
met three of his friends already seated and enjoying
drinks. it was gathered that about 7:20pm, they all
set to leave, moving in a convoy, with his best friend
driving the car in front. Eze was the last to join
before he was blocked and shot dead inside his car.


After the owner of the garden and other
sympathizers gathered at the scene, his friends
reportedly drove away claiming that they heard a
bang at their back but thought that Eze must have
hit something and that was why they continued
without him.


Reports said that even after the arrival of his friends
at the scene, no serious efforts were made to either
take him to the hospital or contact the police at
Zuba. Policemen arrived the scene around 11pm and
all efforts made to revive Eze in the hospital failed.


One of the doctors was said to have reprimanded his
friends for not rushing him to the nearest hospital
immediately they arrived the scene, saying that he
could have survived the gun shots if he had been
given immediate medical attention.


The case was however cracked after private
detectives succeeded in arresting a suspect in
possession of the phone of the deceased which was
the only item his assailants disappeared with after
the incident. The suspect turned out to be in the
same Aluminium Market where late Eze had his
shop.


the police said,
"We drilled him for long hours until he capitulated
and started confessing how they killed the innocent
young man.”


According to him, two people came to engage their
services for the job in their cult group. He gave a
detailed description of them and one of the
descriptions tallied with that of the late
businessman’s best friend who also had business in
the same market with him. The suspect said that
when they asked those that came to hire them why
they wanted the man dead, they said he had been
importing goods from abroad and needed to be
silenced. They were paid N1.2million, some of them
got N250,000 while others got N300,000 each.”


Giving a detailed account of how they carried out
the operation on the day in question, the suspect
said some of them arrived the restaurant earlier
than the deceased and sat by a table near where he
later sat with his best friend who hired them. ‘He
said that as soon as they were ready to go, his friend
winked at them at the nearby table and they used
their telephone to flash their colleagues who were
positioned outside the area as a signal that they
should proceed to hit their target. He further said
they were told that he would be coming in a car
behind. So, his friend quickly drove off in front with
the deceased following behind and when they got to
the point where they had to join the expressway, the
friend in front drove faster. As soon as his friend
entered the expressway two of the hired killers
blocked the businessman’s car and one of them just
pulled out his gun, approached the driver’s side and
yanked open the door. While Eze was passionately
pleading with them to take whatever they needed
and spare his life, the armed man shot him point
blank, picked his phone and sped off.’’


Police sources also hinted that after the arrest of
five of the suspects at the popular Aluminium
Market, Abuja, his best friend confessed during
interrogation that the deceased gave him N5million
to exchange for him around October 2014, and he
was yet to pay him back before he was killed. It was
learnt that initially, he wanted to be smart by
diverting the attention of detectives to focus their
searchlight on one of the brothers to the deceased
but when he learnt that one of the killers had
confessed to the crime, he withdrew his allegation.
Sources said detectives were still searching for the
second person that hired the killers together with
the best friend to the deceased and would soon
arrest him.


The deceased brother said:
"This is the greatest shock we have received in our
area in recent times. That suspect is well known to
all of us as Tony’s best friend. They used to travel
together to China on business trips. In fact, he was
closer to our brother than anybody in the family.
Whenever we needed to advise our brother, we
usually channelled it through this his friend who
happens to come from Eha-Alumonah Community, a
neighbouring town in Nsukka.


Interestingly, this his friend was leading
pallbearers during Tony’s burial. He was the first to
arrive our compound before other of his friends and
business partners arrived. He was shedding tears
uncontrollably. Even after the burial, his wife
prepared our traditional food for the bereaved family
which friends usually partake in. I can remember
vividly that a few days after Tony’s burial, the
suspect told some members of our family that he
(the deceased) owed some business associates a
whooping sum of N12 million and there was urgent
need to settle the debt but we swept it aside by
telling him that it could come up after the mourning
period.


I will use this opportunity to thank the Nigeria
Police Force and the private detectives for the
success recorded so far because these startling
confessions and arrests will go a long way to
assuage our deep feeling of loss. (In tears) Now see,
for how much did they take the precious life of this
young, amiable, promising and easy-going young
man? Who will train his children and take care of his
young wife? he asked
