After the reported killing of Chidike Emmanuel, a skit maker, allegedly by suspected herdsmen in Abuja on Saturday, the FCT Police Command has initiated investigations to determine the cause of his death.
According to sources, Chidike Emmanuel was among six individuals attacked on Saturday night by herdsmen at Mpape. Sadly, he lost his life after the incident, and his body was taken to the mortuary.
Following the attack, the group of friends who were out for the night dispersed in different directions to ensure their safety. Chidike was later found deceased, and the incident was reported at the Mpape Police Station.
Imaobong Loveline, one of the victims of the attack, reported the incident to the Mpape Police station and later alerted others that Chidi’s lifeless body was discovered in the mortuary.
Taking to social media, Imaobong shared a post showing Chidi’s corpse, stating, “The individual in the image is lying lifeless in the mortuary; he was attacked by Fulani men.”
“Any information about his family members would be appreciated. They should please go to Mpape’s new police station, Berger Quarry. Please repost until it reaches them,” she added.
“Six of us were attacked by herdsmen, and he died in the process. We’re currently searching for information about any of his family members.”
Additionally, she provided an update, stating, “His closest relative in Abuja has reached out and visited the police station. The police are making efforts to ensure the perpetrators are apprehended. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of this.”
However, reports indicate that Chidi had no family in Abuja but that his relatives reside in Lagos.
