A suspected member of the Odua Peoples Congress known by the pseudonym “Ultimate” on Monday allegedly killed an employee of Etisalat, Chukwuma Eze, in the Ejigbo area of Lagos State during an argument over N10 toll.

PUNCH Metro learnt that N10 toll was collected by the OPC members at a footbridge that links Ejigbo with Ajao Estate.

It was gathered that the deceased told the collectors that he had only N1, 000 denominations with him and offered it to one of the collectors who asked him to come back for his balance.

Eze was said to have agreed but was shocked when on his return a female member of the group insisted that the deceased did not give N1,000 to the collectors.

The   telecoms employee was said to have been angered by the denial resulting in a fight between him and the female member of the group.

Sensing that the female member of the group could not match Eze’s strength, “Ultimate,” was said to have brought out an object suspected to be charm and hit the telecoms employee with it on the chest.

Eze, who is to marry in April, reportedly slumped and died on the spot.


It was learnt that immediately words filtered in that Eze had died, his kinsmen in the area carried out a reprisal and attacked some members of the OPC found at the footbridge.

A source told PUNCH Metro that in the ensuing pandemonium, a member of the OPC was also killed, while some motorcycles and a generator belonging to members of the group were vandalised.

The spokesperson for the state police command, Mr. Joseph Jaiyeoba, who spoke to our correspondent on the telephone confirmed the incident but said facts about the incident were still sketchy.

He  said, “One   Chukwuma Eze was allegedly killed by some people collecting money at a footbridge but we cannot say for sure if the collectors are members of the OPC or the local government revenue collectors.

“The incident caused a stir as some friends of the deceased confronted and fought with the suspects.

“The details of what exactly transpired are still sketchy because the incident occurred at night but another corpse, identified as one Sumonu, was also found at Ajao Estate later. We (Police) do not know if his death is related to Eze’s killing.”

R.I.P mr Eze.

The guy has died for nothing.

If this same thing had happened in Onitsha or Warri, the 'suspected' OPC member will be aptly reported as an area boy.
There is no news in this as far as i am concerned.

Always fighting tribal war on NL. There is no more regard for human blood. Nigeria is truly disintegrating. RIP Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. Long Live Federal Republic Of BIAFRA. The land of the rising sun.

You are be populating every states in Nigeria and keep shouting Biafra! It shows how cowardly you guys are. Nigeria is weak at the central so the best time to fight for stupid Biafra is to back to yours states and declare Biafra Stupid Republic. No wonder you being killed everywhere.

[size=20pt]You are be populating every states in Nigeria and keep shouting Biafra! [/size]

LWKMD!!!!

GBURU-GBURU!!!!

Kai! Because of N990 change? The most foolish news i've ever heard. This Eze guy, is he from Sydney or Vancouver? U carry big money go cross foot bridge controlled by miscreants? Anyway dis na lesson for we all, make we always remember to take along with us money of lower denominations. Rest in peace, poor guy.

RIP Eze : Moral of this is that don't argue over little inconsequential matter with guys high on cheap intoxicants.

Ayusman really there are smtins that are nt worth say'n we are all supposed 2 reason this rationally b4 u make sm coment just imagine if smtin lyk dis happens 2 smone u know and a reply comes like wat u just wrote?

Babamide:

4 me datz d question since itz not a recognized toll den y pass there if u dnt ave change? He could have take'n anoda route and prevented a premature death. May his soul rest in peace,

In general for nairalanders itz lyk every tribe in dis sit are look'n 4 ways 2 get back @ each oda which is nt suposed 2 b. That is actually watz is affecting Nigeria as a country wen they are 2 stand 2gether d trust wld nt b there because of all dis ethnic thusles. And may be datz is y other foreign country MAY keep succeding and we are where we are. Imagine if US, CHINA, UK. Are all ethnically biased wat they wld b lyk?? We just need 2 stand, stay and think 2gether.

its unfortunate the FG allowed sectional groups (OPC, MEND, MASSOB) to emerge in the name of struggle for a just cause for their people, but at a microscopic view they are the major proponents of death in Nigeria today.

OPC is busy collecting tolls on innocent and hard working citizens and have even taken it to the extent of killing people who are standing for their rights, yet the police and Lagos state government is silent about it.
MASSOB's Uwaziruike is busy fighting a bloody and legal battle with Ojukwus son to become the leader of the ibo people not minding to spill the blood of the people he wants to be there leader.
MEND has showed us that what they are actually interested is to work for there brother the president and insult/challenge whoever attempts to criticize the policies/actions of the president NOT minding if such policies even favors the common man in south south.
Boko Haram, the confused Islamic elements claiming to fight a jihad with conflicting interest in politics.

until the FG label this groups as terrorist, we will continue to see innocent Nigerians dying on the street.

Its very unfortunate indeed.
Adieu.

The ethnic animosity in Nigeria is evident here on Nairaland!!

At some point, something has got to give!

Whether is Biafra or Nigeria they will still have something in common;

Selfish corrupt politicians!
