A witness who spoke to The PUNCH confirmed the incident, saying, “Yes, he was shot dead in that high-tension area yesterday evening. Some individuals are stating that he was a lecturer at UNIZIK and hailed from Nteje.” The source also added, “The hoodlums blocked his car and when he resisted, they shot him in the head. He was already dead before help could reach him.”

The witness further noted the growing insecurity in the area, calling for caution during the festive period. “The insecurity in this area is becoming a serious concern. If they come for your car, it’s best to surrender it. Our lives are far more important,” the witness advised.
