Doctor Murdered Hours Hours Before Departure To America

Former presidential candidate, Tope Fasua has mourned An Abuja-based doctor, Dr Obialo Ibe, who he described as one of the best radiologists in the country after he was murdered in his Abuja home the same day he was set to travel to America.

Dr. Ibe was killed alongside a yet-to-be-identified friend in the doctor’s Games Village, Abuja residence.

Fasua who was the presidential candidate of the Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party in 2019, on Facebook, said, “Dr Obialor Ibe, one of the best consultant radiologists in Nigeria, and his friend, were gruesomely murdered at his Abuja home on Wednesday by unidentified individual/s. He was supposed to be travelling to America that morning.

“He was a very passionate radiologist who had a remarkable interest in paediatric abdominal radiology.”

One Anthony Ogbo on Facebook, quoting Ibe’s younger sister, Adanna, corroborated Fasua as he said that the doctor was murdered hours before embarking on his trip to America. He said that the two were stabbed several times in the chest and abdomen while Ibe’s new car, luggage and some documents were taken away.

He wrote, “Obi was ready to leave for the airport. His friend came to pick him up. Adanna left for work. She later called her brother to wish him a safe journey, but could not reach him.

“After several attempts, she then called the house boy. The house boy said he left Obi at home to go out for an errand. Adanna got worried and went back home.

“On reaching home, the gate was locked from outside with a new padlock. She called the house boy again, who told her where to find the new key.

“She got into the house and found lifeless Obi and his friend in a pool of their blood. They both have been stabbed several times in the chest and abdomen. His five-month-old car, travelling luggage, plus documents gone.”

The Punch reported that a man who claimed to be the doctor’s neighbour, accused the house help of poisoning and later stabbing him and his friend.

He said, “It is believed that the house boy poisoned the doctor and his friend, hacked them to death, and stole his SUV, cash, and took off. I heard that he was arrested at the Nigeria-Niger border.”
