The incident occurred on January 30 in a restaurant named Nwanyi – Mmonghon at Uzompka Street in Amaiyi, Owerri-Aba in Ugwunagbo LGA.

The deceased and a man named Chinenye had reportedly entered a restaurant to eat a meal when a dispute occurred over who should be served first.

An eyewitness said: “Not wanting to be upstaged, an already seated cyclist, named Oberagu, who had arrived before Chinenye came, told him to wait for his turn, as they came before him.

“The owner of the eating spot, supported their position and went on to serve food to the other person that came before Chinenye.

“On noticing that, Chinenye started threatening the woman and the other cyclists, shouting that if the woman dared not to serve food to him and his group, he would scatter everywhere.

“That was what caused the fight, in which other cyclists, joined to beat up Chinenye, who left in humiliation.

“But, the other boys were still eating when he came back in company of other cyclists.

“With everyone running away, Chinenye drew closer and shot him in the stomach and disappeared with the same cyclist that brought him”.
