Jumia Delivery Man Killing: Watch Suspects' Interrogation Video

 

 

A delivery man with an online marketing store, Jumia, Mr. Chukwuma Eleje, has been killed in a house on Ada George Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

 

The victim was said to be delivering two mobile phones to some customers, who had ordered for them through the Internet on Saturday, when he was attacked and killed.

 

The assailants were reported to have dumped his remains in a septic tank in a desperate attempt to cover up the crime. However, operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad were said to have been alerted by residents.

 

The officials were reported to have swooped in on the suspects identified as Naabe and Mbatumukeke. Naabe, who claimed to be on a visit, said he saw Mbatumukeke pushing the deceased into the septic tank.

 

He said, “On my way to this place, I saw him (Mbatumukeke); he was packaging something like a black waste bin. He was saying I should just go inside and chill out. He said he would soon join me in the room.

 

The second suspect, Mbatumukeke, claimed that Naabe killed the victim, adding that he hit the courier man with an iron on the head.

 

“He hit him with iron on the head and blood was gushing out. I was afraid; I was vibrating. I didn’t know what to do. God is my witness,” he added.

 

When a Punch correspondent visited the scene on Tuesday, he observed that the house was deserted.

 

It was gathered that most of the tenants in the building began to leave the house after policemen recovered the corpse.
