What can be regarded as a terrifying scene, recently occurred in the River Basin Authority at the Mile 8 area of Calabar, Cross Rivers State capital.
According to reports emanating from the state’s capital, the river basin authority has been thrown into total pandemonium as one Godwin Elewana, was accused of murdering a 22-year-old boy, Douglas Ojugbo, for daring to have love affairs with his daughter.
Reports of the gruesome killing of the victim further revealed that, after shooting the boy to d€ath, Elewana who is said to be very influential in the community, connived with the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the area and hurriedly buried the dead body in a shallow grave at night.
This was disclosed by an eyewitness who narrated the incident. Elewana, who is described as a very troublesome man, killed Ojugbo because he did not approve of the relationship with his daughter, PM news reports.
“The girl’s father had always warned the late Ojugbo not to come near his daughter. That is what we were made to understand but the two of them could not part with themselves, this made the Elewana decided to take that horrible action.
“On that fateful evening, we saw the Elewana chasing the boy who was panting and running but the Elewana caught up with him around the Basin Authority gate and shot him to d€ath.
“After shooting him, he dragged him into his car and drove off. All of us were running for our dear lives because Elewana man is very dangerous and everyone knows him for that,” an eyewitness recounted.
It was gathered that after shooting the boy in the arm and legs, Elewana reportedly allowed Ojugbo to bleed to d€ath in his car and drove the corpse to the Federal Housing Police Station in Calabar, where the DPO ordered that the boy’s body be taken to the Goldie Cemetery and buried without an autopsy or investigation carried out or the parents of the victim informed.
However, after a hysterical search for the missing boy, it was gathered that the parents got to know the fate that befell him and they petitioned the A$$istant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 6, Calabar and the National Human Rights Commission to investigate the cause of his son’s d€ath and bring those who killed the son to justice.
The AIG of the zone however ordered that the body of Ojugbo be exhumed and a proper autopsy be carried out while he has also ordered the DPO to produce the fleeing Elewana.
This horrific killing comes weeks after another tragedy struck in the Ikotun area of Lagos recently as a 42-year old man, Alli Mustapha killed one of his customers, Idowu Maliki, after the latter refused to pay for a stick of cigarette he had bought.- Naij
