A source who craved to be friends with the deceased, craving anonymity told Newsmen that his late friend had just returned from Lagos where he went to buy goods, when the killer’s came.  

“Maybe he and his friend would have been alive if he had given them the one million naira, he could only transfer thirty six thousand naira; they killed him and his friend and dragged their bodies to the bathroom.

“They then took his car, shop keys and fled only for two of them to come to the shop along New Ogorode Road. When some persons saw them, they fled but one was caught.
