Ubong, what manner of death?

How can you bury your Mum yesterday (Friday) and today (Saturday) you're stabbed to death by your roommate? Less than 24hrs after you struggled to bury your Mum?

Ubong is a simple, easy going, hardworking, humble and God fearing young man. I knew him through my Electrician, Kennedy. If I needed someone to help clean the compound, Ubong will do that efficiently and will be done with it in less than an hour.

This morning, I was inside the town campus of the University of Uyo, Uniuyo, when a friend who was with me pointed to a young lady crying desperately and walking towards the University gate. What could make a young lady cry this way inside the University environment on a Saturday morning? We both pondered.

Less than 10 minutes, my phone rang? It was my electrician friend, Kennedy. "Hello Sir. Sir Ubong is dead oh! Ubong is dead oh just like that", the call ended.

Confused and a bit disoriented, I called back. "Kennedy which Ubong? Is it your boy who just buried his Mum yesterday", I asked. Yes, he replied. How? What happened? Was he sick? I asked. No Sir, he replied. He just had a minor argument with his roommate he lived together at Idak Okpo Street and within seconds, the roommate took a knife and stabbed him from the back. He lost a lot of blood and we rushed him to the University Clinic where he died". His body is at University of Uyo Clinic, town campus.

"Hold on Kennedy, I don't understand". I'm inside the University and infact I'm not too far from the Clinic and moments ago, I saw a young girl crying, walking towards the gate", I asked. "Yes Sir, that's his Cousin. We just left to call a photographer to take some pictures of Ubong's corpse before we take him to the mortuary", he replied.

So where is this his "roommate" who stabbed him to death, I asked. "He is currently being detained at Barracks Road Police Station", he replied with emotions and agonizing tears overshadowing his voice.

Till this very moment, I'm yet to recover from this news and still can't understand what anger, provocation, or quarrel will make a roommate pick up and knife and stab to death his fellow roommate who just buried his Mother barely 24 hrs ago.

I pray the Police will help unravel more of what we don't know but it's hard to say Rest in Peace Ubong. I still can't understand what just happened. Ubong, dead? Just like that? Someone who just buried his Mother yesterday? I wish it was a nightmare.

Speechless..

Calamities are befalling the sons of men....the guy looks gentle and pitiable sef

nawa o which kin people dey this world na, una no even reason say nigga just bury hin mama. swears really sad atm

Mehn Dix is a very bad news, RIP to Him, 1 of the reasons I don't need any roommate

I completely observed and understand Human nature and it sends cold chills down my spine.

Just imagine. The roommate didn't even care if his mom died or not. That roommate is a devil and should be in hell already. I feel its a waste of time and resources keeping that animal in cell.. Them for kuku leave am for students, make them tear the animal apart. .
Rip to the dead....

He lost his guardian angel, he was left unprotected

The rate at which small children kill in Nigeria nowadays is alarming, any little issue they carry knife or gun and look for whom to kill. RIP to the young man

I fear who no fear human beings.

omor tinz de happen for this same uyo wey I dey o...
I de here dey complain about bein broke n how life take hard reach when one family dey lose two people in d space of 24hrs..
rip to him though, dt his killer friend must do time, just aguement n he brought out fone to stab someone, all shades of cultism

Things like this will raise questions for atheist or Doubting Thomas believers like myself

Let everyone be prayerful because the days are evil. People are becoming more vile and vicious these days.

Sad.

No more friendship nowadays.....

Everybody wanna take advantage of anybody wey loose guard

This reminds me of my roommate of back in the days during my days in polytechnic.....The nigga was so money-conscious to the extent that I thought that if I din't get rid of him on time,I may end up being offered as a burnt offering . So one morning before he returned from his normal routine waka waka,I don pack out, relocate to my cousin hostel sharp sharp..

Nawa o

Rest in peace lucky one. At least you free from the troubles of this wicked world

That's a CURSE!!!

Terrible!

Another day, another set of bad news flooding nairaland's front page

Damnnn niggarrrr
Too bad

This is so sad

Parte after parte

See how the devil has struck twice in one swoop. What I can't fathom is how someone who should be mourning can have the energy to fight.

Something fishy went down

Funny how Uyo has always been out of the news o...until that urchin paid by udom started disturbing us with how beautiful uyo is and how it now rivals Dubai...
Now uyo is dishing it out weekly hot hot.

I can't wait to hear the reason why this boy was stabbed. Probably over something useless. RIP young man.

These Uyo people are beginning to run amok.

This is bad

There's more to it,that meets the eye. Alot happened between that room mate and him,is all about ritualism. Money making stuff.

**speechless**

hm

Chai may his soul rest in peace..Amen!!

This one pass News oOoOO...
