A friend of the deceased son, named Oghenekvwe, said that the fateful day the deceased made a distressed call to his son, telling him to call back, the son, who was too busy with customers at his shop in Robinson Plaza, returned the call much later.

The report said that the son had to rush home when his father was not picking his calls only to discover his father’s lifeless body on the bed with a sniper by his side.
