Thirty-nine-year-old Kenechukwu Eze, a native of Amoli Edem in the Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State, on Wednesday, said his gang members killed one Emmanuel Agundu because he withheld the N18m they realised from Internet fraud. The money was reportedly paid into his Nigerian bank account.

Agundu, who was the Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Udenu branch, was shot on August 15, 2018, at Obollo-Afor in the Udenu Local Government Area of the state by unidentified gunmen around 7pm, but he survived the attack.


However, on September 2, 2018, he was trailed to Uru-Uwani Edem in the Nsukka Local Government Area around 2pm and shot dead.

Although one of the gunmen was arrested and remanded in prison custody, Eze, a member of the five-man gang of Internet fraudsters based in Morocco, was apprehended on Wednesday, July 10, 2019, by the personnel of the Enugu State Police Command.

Parading the suspect at the state police headquarters alongside 18 were arrested across the state for various offences ranging from armed robbery, kidnapping, car snatching, vandalism, cultisim, unlawful possession of firearms and murder, the state Commissioner of Police, Suleiman Balarabe, said Eze was arrested with the help of credible intelligence, adding that the police had been tracking him since Agundu’s death.

Balarabe said his arrest was part of the command’s efforts to rid the state of criminals.

“We are also striving towards reducing crime to its barest minimum through proactive measures without losing sight of the respect for human rights and the rule of law,” the CP stated.

Speaking to PUNCH Metro during the parade, Eze confessed that his group killed the legal practitioner, adding that the person who shot Agundu had been arrested and remanded in prison.

He said, “I didn’t know the lawyer in person, but one of our members brought him to join us in the business. His job was to supply a bank account to pay the money we realised into.

“So, we paid a total of N18m into the account he supplied and when we asked him to provide the money, he rebuffed us. Instead of making the money available for us to share according to our agreed formula, he started threatening to report the matter to security agents. That was why we decided to end it once and for all.


“I was arrested because of the death of that lawyer that we did a fraudulent transaction together. He spent N18m and was killed because of that. The person, who shot him, is already in prison. We were five in number; Emmanuel Ebonyi, one Valentine and his younger brother, Agundu and I.

“It was an online business ,but the barrister supplied the account that we paid into. We paid a total of N18m into his account and he kept all the money.”

The deceased deserved what came to him...He allowed greed to take over.Even after surviving the first hit common sense didn't tell you that these boys meant business.

No money is too big to gamble with one's life.He who dines with the devil should have a long spoon.

Rip Aza man.

Lobatan, so lawyer too dey thief?

Dead men can't speak for themselves...

Why are you all surprised?.

Don't you know that the present head of the NBA in Nigeria is currently on bail in a money laundering case? His passports are with the Courts.

Onnoghen the immediate past head of the judiciary was eased out for being less than clean.

Greed!!!

Exactly
I have stopped believing all these one-sided reports.
Until the man speak with his lawyers without fear, then I can agree.

Thief everywhere

Emmanuel Ebonyi killed someone in Nsukka.

Not my problem. Wawa people, na una sabi.

Can you see now. A whole lawyer!

Maybe the barrister is the immediate younger brother of ONNOGHEN......

So many of our lawyers' hands are soaked....

Rip yahooboys Aza Man!!!

What a pity!

Rip Aza Man
Serve as a lesson those who act before thinking.

IF this is true, then no RIP to the greedy lawyer. Thats the way they end it. Shun Fraud

This same thing is what these Igbo lawyers are doing to Atiku. They foolishly say it to themselves that because he's a northerner, he doesn't have sense. Look at that Ben Nwabueze that they carried to court in wheelbarrow just because of money Atiku promised him.

Once these people see money, na how to thief am dey their mind.

I dread Igbo boys when it comes to money. Especially crime proceeds. They can do the 'undoable'. 2017 Bishop's father and stepmother was assassinated in Ozubulu because of drug crime gone bad South Africa. That's just a clue of what they can do.

If buhari dare them, na for sahara sand dem go use hin blood write him story.

Stewpid Man......

Go and spend the money in your grave.

Ijiot!!!

Na Morocco now?

All men die but men lives

The lawyer is a 'picker' for the fraudsters. Most pickers end up being killed cos they try to to cheat the thieves who are expecting the money.

Killings like this are commonplace in Edo state.
