A
27-year-old man and an indigene of Igbodo community in Ika North-East
Local Government Area of Delta State, Mr. Nnaji Benson has been declared
wanted by the Nigeria Security Agency.
This was
followed by the death of one Mr. Dede, a native of Onitcta-Ugbo
community who was allegedly murdered in cold blood by some yet to be
identified hoodlums on his way from the farm on the 19th, November 2015.
It was learnt that late Mr. Dede shared the same farm boundary with
that of Benson and his family.
Newsmen confirmed
that Mr. Dede and his Wife were returning from the farm along
Onitcha-Ugbo/Uromi Expressway when the unknown gunmen attacked him and
murdered him. According to Dede's wife who spoke on a condition of
anonymity, lamented that she and her husband were returning from the
farm on the said date, when the assassins attacked them and shot her
husband. She pleaded to the government and the security agency in
country help fish out the killers of her husband.
Speaking
with Ika Weekly reporter, the Chairman, Vigilante Security Outfit in
Igbodo/Onitcta-Ugbo axis, Mr. Williams Okoro said that when the sad
incident about the murder of Mr. Dede came to him, as Chairman of a
security outfit, he decided to mobilize his men to the farm road and
took his corps to the Mortuary. Speaker further, he disclosed that
shortly after the body was deposited at the Mortuary, they still went
back with the Police where he was killed for a further investigation.
According to him, "it was during our thorough investigation, we
discovered a written letter containing the background details of the
untimely death of Mr. Dede. We have placed a measure with the order from
the police to arrest whoever we see in the farm and it's environs,
regardless of age and family background. If Benson likes let him run
to the underground, he must be made to face the consequences when ever
he is apprehended", he started.
As at the time of
filing this report, Benson due to threats by the security agencies, that
whoever found in the farm axis should be dealt with was nowhere to be
found. Newsmen also leant that another incident that pushed Benson away
from the land on the 14th of February, 2016, was because the hoodlums
accused him being the one informing the Vigilante men their hideout in
the community.
Meanwhile, the family members of the
deceased have placed a ransom of #2Million to any member of the public
that can help the Police with the reliable information that can lead to
Benson's where about.
