The Prince pleaded with the youths and settledthem with N10,000 but the king was angered when he heard about it and he drove to thefield with his guards and demanded that the youths return the money.

As he scolded the youths, one of his guards, Atuonye Opara, went to the car and brought out a gun which the king collected and aimed at the youths, threatening them. His personal assistant quickly stepped in to retrieve the gun but the king struggled to maintain hold of it and it was during the tussle that the king pulled the trigger and Uchenna was hit in the chest.

The 2017 graduate of Library and Information Science was rushed to a clinicwhere he was confirmed dead. Uchenna was supposed to go for NYSC in March 2018.The state Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike, confirmed the king has been arrested and investigation is currently going on to get to the root of the matter.
