Man murders friend at beer parlour in Ebonyi
From Chinedu Nwafor, Abakaliki
A 33-year-old man was on Monday, murdered at a drinking joint along Jemeni Street, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State capital.
The deceased’s name could not be ascertained immediately, as of the time of filling this report.
Confirming the incident, the Ebonyi State Commissioner of Police, CP Aliyu Garba, said that the two men were drunk and exchanged argument at the joint, when the incident happened.
“The incident happened and the victim died. The two of them-both the man that killed the man and the one that died came to the joint together.
“But of course, you should know they were already drunk. The two of them just had little argument in that beer parlour, and one of them took bottle and smashed it on the head of the other person. The incident happened between the two of them.
“The one, whose head was hit with the bottle was rushed to the hospital and he could not survived it.
“By now, I’m sure my men would have arrested the suspect. I’m sure I will be able to give you feedback later”, the CP said.
A source who pleaded anonymity, however, told our Correspondent that trouble started when the suspect simply identified as Ayoola who is a food seller at Ekeaba Market attempted hitting the deceased with his car which made the deceased to question his action, leading to a fight.
