A Nigerian man has reportedly paid with his life while trying to save an Okada man from touts in Anambra.
Fear has enveloped the area since the incident
There is chaos in Onitsha, the commercial city of Anambra state after a businessman was killed earlier today around Main Market axis.
Information gathered revealed that the deceased was allegedly stabbed to death by a group of thugs and cultists after he prevented them from extorting money from a motorcyclist also known as Okada rider.
The man was reported to have defended the Okada rider as the touts along with their chairman were trying to extort money from him.
The man threatened to lock the touts up in prison as he came to the rescue of the Okada man.
The hoodlums got angry and pounced on him, beating him mercilessly. They stabbed him with bottles, knives and the weapons they could lay their hands on and left him to die in the pool of his blood.
This sparked outrage among the business community as traders shut all shops in the country’s largest market to protest the death.
