He said: “He was murdered on the Ukpor- Lilu- Orsumoghu- Azia- Mbosi Road in Anambra State, as his driver made a detour from the Onitsha-Owerri Highway en route to Port Harcourt, due to the traffic jam on the highway.
“His crime probably was that he was riding in an SUV and looked like a big man.”
Onwuka recalled that many people have been murdered along same Ukpor- Lilu- Orsumoghu- Azia- Mbosi Road by these people who kill anybody that is in a big car and looks like a big man.
“It has become a crime to ride a big car in the Southeast, except you have a battalion of security operatives guarding you,” he noted.
“During the Christmas/New Year mass return, the killers seemed to have gone on holiday and resumed afterwards,” he added.
Chief Ofoma was a senior estate surveyor and valuer and had a big estate surveying firm with headquarters in Port Harcourt and other offices in Nnewi, Abuja and Lagos, employing over 150 people.
