TWO weeks after an Igbo business
woman, Mrs Lorencia Onunkwo, was killed
by yet to be arrested gunmen in front of
her house at Fadama Mada area of
Bauchi, a prominent Igbo businessman in
the state capital, Mr John Udeh, popularly
called John Bosco, was on Tuesday
evening murdered in front of his house at
the Federal Low-cost Housing Estate,
Bauchi.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that the late
John Bosco was trailed by his assailants
to his house where he was eventually
murdered right in the presence of his wife,
who was with him in his Audi car he was
driving when the gunmen accosted them.
A resident of the housing estate informed
that the assailants, who were said to
come on a motorbike, started shooting
sporadically into the air to scare away
residents.
According to the source, “we started to
hear gun shots shortly after Magrib
prayer. This sent shivers down the spines
of people in the area as everybody ran for
dear life. It was later that we heard that
the gunmen trailed one Igbo man, Bosco,
to his house and killed him in front of his
house.”
Narrating what happened to journalists, an
apprentice with the deceased, Chimezie
Ugwu, stated that he went to open the
gate for his master when he heard gun
shots and ran back, adding that the late
Bosco was about to drive in when he was
shot.
Another apprentice, Friday Uwakwe, who
followed Chimezie to open the gate for
their master, said he too ran away when
he heard gunshots.
He added that the deceased’s wife and
two other apprentices were in their
master’s car as of the time he was killed,
saying that by the time he came out from
hiding, a neighbour had driven the Audi
car with his master inside to the hospital
where he was confirmed dead.
On his part, the elder brother of the
deceased, who he said left behind four
children, Mr Solomon Udeh, lamented the
murder of his younger brother, declaring
that the killing was an assassination
operation.
Meanwhile, efforts made to get the police
to react to the incident proved abortive.
When the Bauchi State Police Command’s
spokesman, DSP Haruna Mohammed,
picked a call made to him, he said he was
at a meeting, adding that he would call
back later.

When you have pubic lice, it’s advisable to get tested for other STI’s. A check-up is usually recommended as a precaution. 6. The “ITCH” usually start at night because pubic lice tend to burrow when their host isn’t moving around too much. 7. Excessive scratching has been found to cause secondary bacterial infections. 8.
