Man Returns From Abroad For Christmas, Allegedly Killed By Childhood Friend by Rebuker(op): 6:04pm On Dec 28, 2025
A tragic incident has left Oben Village in Benin City, Edo State, reeling after a 43-year-old man, Eghosa Osas, who had recently returned from abroad to celebrate Christmas with his family, was allegedly killed by his childhood friend, Amadin William, popularly known as Old Soldier.

The incident reportedly occurred on December 27, 2025, during a housewarming party. Sources say the victim excused himself from the gathering before being cornered and fatally attacked. The suspect reportedly fled the scene but was apprehended in Benin City the following day. Authorities have confirmed that investigations are ongoing, and the suspect is expected to face charges once the inquiry is complete.

According to the Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Eno Ikoedem, the case was reported by the victim’s elder brother. The suspect allegedly carried out the attack when the victim was alone after leaving the party.

The incident has sparked widespread shock and grief within the local community, casting a dark shadow over the Christmas celebrations and prompting calls for swift justice.

I hope it's not the guy that anonymous group warned to be careful of his friend.

That he should not visit Nigeria this Christmas.

He was warned twice

Best decision I made is to end any friendship I have with anybody immediately me or the person leaves what brought us together maybe in the university, school, nysc, business e. T.c provided that I'm not going to see you for the period of 1 year I have nothing to do with you again. I won't even call the person and if the person calls I won't pick his or her call because he's already a history to me.

Life moves on fast than having friends and be deceiving myself.
Re: Man Returns From Abroad For Christmas, Allegedly Killed By Childhood Friend by Riversides2003(m): 8:57pm On Dec 28, 2025
There are some of my friends that I take caution with even after 1 year cis things can change a lot within that time and the last time you saw them

Sometimes, I don't blame people who cut everyone off while in success. Because you can never know who secretly wants you to fail or die..

Probably, the evil friend tried drink poisoning and was unsuccessful, so opted for plan B..

That's why, no matter what, you would hardly hear or see news of northerners as friends envying one another, to the point of poisoning or manslaughter. But you see southerners, it is either an elder wants to deal or kill you or a so called friend of your youth..

I go soon run leave una for this country, una heart too strong...

Sad, why kill your friend. Instead of supporting your friend from abroad. And he is not remorseful, so he will rather rot in prison than let his friend survive. That is not a friend that is a frenemy.

I always advise people to not reveal anything about themselves to anybody including their family members.
You never can tell who would use the information to harm you.

Wannabe has dropped a statement!

So black people are the only race who perpetuate evil towards other people?

Do you say same about white peoples when they walk into a shopping mall and kill people randomly? No! Because you have been programmed to only detest your own people. Other races are your masters.
