Update on the Nigerian businessman beaten and burnt to death in Togo Republic.

Further investigation on the death of this young Nigerian, who was brutally murdered for refusing to marry his pregnant Togolese girlfriend.

When contacted the igbo community in Togo and was shocked to discovered the young man bu onye igbo.

His name is Chukwuma Emmanuel Uchenna Udeh, but he was popularly called "tootoo". He is from Awka Etiti in Anambra State.

He was murdered by the Togolese hoodlums mobilised by his Togo girl friend. Tootoo had being in relationship with this Togolese girl. The girl took in for him and Tootoo accepted the pregnancy.

They both attended a function on Sunday where they took the pictures below. It was after the Sunday outing that they had misunderstanding which prompted him to walk out of the relationship. The Togolese girlfriend on Tuesday mobilised her brothers, ambushed Tootoo, beat him mercilessly and burnt him to death.

The girl we learnt was later arrested by Togolese police but there is an unconfirmed report within the igbo community in Togo that she has been released.

It was gathered that the Nigeria Embassy in Togo has not shown any interest and has done nothing to seek justice for the murder of our brother Chukwuma Emmanuel Uchenna Udeh.

This is the ugly situation Nigerians in diaspora face, as our foreign embassies do not protect them against victimisation, racial discrimination and intimidation by their host nations.

However, Ndigbo in Togo met yesterday and will also meet this evening as they wish to seek justice for Tootoo and also make arrangement for his burial.

Stupidly, the pregnant girlfriend is now weeping and claiming that she didn't know his brothers would kill him.
