According to reports, the lawyer went to the office on Saturday and did not return to his residence at School Road, Owerri, the Imo state capital.
A member of the association, Barr. Ikechukwu Nwaopara l, who posted on his Facebook page, said that the new chairman of the state NBA, Barr. J. I Ogamba had asked him to liaise with the former secretary of the association in search of Barr. Nwankwo’s disappearance.
He said they immediately went to the homicide section of the state CID and hired some forensic experts who followed them to his (deceased’s) office to discover his lifeless body on the pool of his congealed blood.
According to him, Nwankwo appeared to have been savagely macheted by his assailants as evident in the monstrous cut of about 30cm into his neck region.
He disclosed that all electronic appliances in his office including fans, printer, computers and others, were stained with blood splashes suggestive of a ferocious cutting of his neck.
The barrister further disclosed that the police men, in their search, discovered the matchet used to butcher him in the office toilet.
His forensic experts said that the act was done by two persons as the two footprints seen were unidentical.
Meanwhile, his driver, who reportedly was the person with him in his office on Saturday, was no where to be found and his phone unable to be reached.

DeleteForensic experts indeed...if we had a functional DNA database in Nigeria, finger prints could have been lifted off the murder weapon left behind, i am sure the perpetrators left something that could have been matched and led to their apprehension. However we are still having arguments about cows being assets and the need for bitcoin to be scrapped.
ReplyDeleteMay God comfort the family he left behind....sigh.
Shebiiii. Empty handed forensics department. Hot mess of a country.
DeleteMy dear the people are jokers.
Delete@Essa
DeleteHave you also considered that the assailants could have worn hand gloves?
๐๐๐๐๐๐
What a wicked world we live. May the killers receive greater deaths Amen
ReplyDeleteGoshh, did they have to go into full details of this grueling murder? At least for the sake of his family members and close friends. May the perpetrators be caught soon enough so they can come pay for their sin. May his soul find rest.
ReplyDeleteAs in too graphic
DeleteHonestly ๐ฅ๐

ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace. Wicked world
ReplyDeleteHow can we have a functional DNA data base when the census in the country is skewed to favor the North? See what happens in the north during elections, how under aged and trees are counted in the north? How non indigenes are allowed in the country through porous boarder?
ReplyDeleteNo, it won't work. For all their power grab, the whole indexes used to measure backwardness and underdevelopment are found and resident in the north.
Rest in peace, Barr.
Must you find a way to blame Northerners for everything. Tribalistic dingbat
DeleteI laugh in functional DNA database. Nigeria is racing backward
DeleteThere's absolutely no LIE in what Baltika wrote.
DeleteNo need for the name calling 10:49
What a terrible way to die.
Rest in peace to the deacesed.
What a painful and horrible death...
ReplyDeleteWho knows how many times he cried and pleaded for mercy, some people aren't humans anymore, imagine the driver on the run too??
May his soul rest in peace amen
Nawaooo, am sure the demon behind this is someone close to him..
ReplyDeleteThe wicked shall never go unpunished
This is someone I know personally. A senior lawyer and a fine gentleman.
ReplyDeleteIt's still a very great shock to all of us.
May God grant his family the fortitude to bear this very painful loss.
Amen. Sorry dear
DeleteHe's also related to my aunt's husband. I won't say more than that
DeleteWhy is this world this wicked!!!! May God grant his family the fortitude to bear this great loss
ReplyDelete๐ฐ๐
ReplyDeleteThis is terrible
ReplyDeleteALL THESE ASSASINS WILL COLLECT MONEY JUST TO KILL THEIR FELLOW HUMAN, ONE DAY THEY WILL DIE. IT'S SO SAD, MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE ....
ReplyDeleteI suggest ppl install cameras in their offices; especially those in professions like law and journalism. They shd check his phone records and any contentious court cases, for clues. So sad. May he not have gone in vain. May Almighty God comfort his family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gruesome murder. I'm so confused how this kind if murder can take place in his office that us situated in a busy School road? May God grant him eternal repose and may his Assassins meet their water loo.
