A 29-year-old man has paid the supreme price for telling his friend
about a heavy sum his South Africa based elder brother sent to him for
the completion of his (elder brother’s) housing project back home in
Nigeria.
Abuchi Wisdom Nwachukwu, was allegedly murdered by
Moses, his friend and colleague, after informing the latter that his
elder brother had sent him the sum of N13 million to complete his
housing project.
Nwachukwu, a native of Isiala-Mbano, Imo State,
was allegedly hacked to death by Moses on January 7, 2020, during a
night shift at the table water company where they worked in Auchi, Edo
State, after which he took possession of Nwachukwu’s phone and ATM card.
Moses
also went on to behead Nwachukwu’s lifeless body so that it would be
recognized, dumping the headless body in a bush close to the company.
After
getting rid of Nwachukwu, Moses took the latter’s phone and ATM card to
some internet fraudsters in Auchi who helped him to withdraw the sum of
N2.2 million from Nwachukwu’s account.
Thereafter, Moses approached various POS points in the city to withdraw various sums of money.
The
police were puzzled when they Nwachukwu’s headless body but could not
identify him. They took the body to the mortuary while Nwachukwu’s
relatives in Imo State as well as his brother in South Africa worried
about his sudden disappearance and their inability to reach him on the
phone.
His South Africa based brother was said to have written a
petition to the Inspector General of Police, Adamu Mohammed, months
after he could not locate his brother or hear from him. Operatives of
the Intelligence Response Team (IRT), headed by Abba Kyari, a Deputy
Commissioner of Police, swung into action to unravel the mystery behind
Nwachukwu’s disappearance.
It was gathered that weeks into their
investigation IRT operatives were able to trace the POS transactions
Moses did with Nwachukwu’s ATM cards to Benin, Ore and Auchi parts of
Edo State.
They later arrested him in a hotel in Auchi where he was hiding.
Upon
interrogation, Moses admitted killing Nwachukwu. He also led IRT
operatives to arrest suspected internet fraudsters—Yusuf Sagiru, Tony
Bright and Terence Okochukwu—as well as businessman Jahswill Ogbonnaya,
who were said to have helped Moses to pull out the sum of N6 million
from the account.
Upon interrogation, Moses a 27-year-old native
of Auchi, said his friend’s ghost had been hunting him since the day he
killed him.
The Auchi Polytechnic graduate of Mechanical
Engineering said: “I work in a table water company in Abely area of
Auchi, and I have been working in that company in the last four years.
“When
Nwachukwu got a job in the factory, I was the person who taught him how
to operate the machine, so we became very close friends.
“While
we were working, Nwachukwu told me about his brother who lives in South
Africa and how he has been sending money to build his house for him.
“He
showed me the alert for the N13 million his brother had just sent to
him, saying that he would be travelling to his village to carry out the
project. I felt jealous and I decided to steal the money.
“Since we were friends, I tricked him and collected his phone password. I went through it and found the PIN for his ATM card.
“Few
days before the day he would be travelling, we worked on the same
shift. I lured him outside the company, stabbed him with a knife and
killed him.
“I dragged his body into the bush, and because I
don’t want people to recognise him easily, I cut off his neck and buried
it. Then I took his ATM card to some fraudsters. I gave it to one Yusuf
and told him that I needed to hack the account.
“We withdrew N2.2 million from the account. I had trouble with Yusuf because he and the people he brought in wanted to cheat me.
“I
killed him on January 8, 2020 and travelled to Ore and Benin City. I
stayed in several hotels and was carrying different women, but
Nwachukwu’s spirit started disturbing me.
“Whenever I want to
sleep, the boy’s spirit will appear to me and will be crying. The girls
that were with me would run away, saying that I want to use them for
money ritual.”
