A 36 year old man Jonah Onwuchekwa was killed
by an official of the Rivers State Sanitation
Authority over a dispute revolving around N200.
Jonah was said to have gone to the dump site
at Mgboshimini Community, Mile 4 axis of Port
Harcourt when he was accosted by the
government worker who started the quarrel that
led to the young man’s death.
An eyewitness, Chijoke Nna, said “The late Jonah
did not quarrel with anybody when he got to the
waste dumping site, the only problem he had with
the man was because he refused to pay the N200
the man demanded from him.
“The man demanded for N200 from Jonah before
he could dump his waste but Jonah told him that
he had already paid before he could realise it the
man picked a bottle from the waste and stabbed
him to death.”
The murderer then fled the scene.
Younger brother of the deceased, Lubechi
Owuchekwa, said the police was requesting money
to do the case but the family simply wanted the
release of their dead kin so they could bury him in
a befitting manner.
He said: “They have arrested the man who
stabbed by brother to death and he is presently at
the state Criminal Investigation Department (SCID)
but one thing is that we don’t have money to do
case, all we want now is how to bury our brother
whose remains has been deposited at the
mortuary .”
