36-years –old Jonah Onwuchekwa was stabbed to
death Thursday by a waste disposal officer with
Rivers State Sanitation Authority after a minor
argument over N200.
The late Jonah was said to have left his house to
dump his waste at the waste dumping site located
at Mgboshimini Community, Mile 4 axis of Port
Harcourt when the argument broke out between
him and the waste disposal who got angry and
stabbed him to death.
An eyewitness Chijoke Nna said the deceased was
sent to early grave because he refused to pay
N200 to dumped his waste
Nna said: “The late Jonah did not quarrel with
anybody when he got to the waste dumping site,
the only problem he had with the man was
because he refused to pay the N200 the man
demanded from him.
“The man demanded for N200 from Jonah before
he could dump his waste but Jonah told him that
he had already paid before he could realise it the
man picked a bottle from the waste and stabbed
him to death.
He said while they are trying to rescue Jonah from
his pool of blood the culprit immediately flees to
unknown destination.
The younger brother of the deceased yesterday
Mr. Lubechi Owuchekwa said the suspect was
later arrested and handed over to the police.
He said: “They have arrested the man who
stabbed by brother to death and he is presently at
the state Criminal Investigation Department
(SCID) but one thing is that we don’t have money
to do case, all we want now is how to bury our
brother whose remains has been deposited at the
mortuary .”
Effort to reach the Rivers State Police Public
Relationship officer Mr. Ahmad Mohammad over
the issue proves abortive as he could not to pick
his calls before the press time.
