An Igbo big boy and socialite living around the Bucknor Area
of Ejigbo has died after he had threatened and boasted
about using his fist to kill someone and hour earlier.
The socialite, better known as Biggie or Akpu obi by his
acolytes was said to be a major player at the famous Ladipo auto spare parts
market before his sudden and mysterious death happened.
According to those who saw the deceased in the day, hours
before his death he was hale and hearty
and was invited by one of his relatives to a fight scenario. He was allegedly
expected to take care of those who insulted his relative.
Said the source, when Biggie arrived with his gang, he was
stopped by the Police who waded into the action
and made peace.
However it was not up to few hours after the gang had been
dispersed that Biggie made frantic calls to the relative he had come to rescue
talking about something happening to his heart.
“He said it was like some people pounding foofoo in his
heart” said a source.
It was then that all roads led to his house for rescue. He
was said to have been found unconscious and was taken to hospital where doctors
pronounced him dead on arrival leaving the entire Ladipo market and his
neighbourhood speechless.ed
His body has since been taken home to Anambra state and buried
with those who called him to come and fight regretting his death forever.
