Unknown gunmen have killed a prominent Bauchi-based Igbo businessman, John Udeh also known as John Bosco.
Bosco was killed on Wednesday in front of his house at Federal Low-cost in the state in presence of his wife.
Vanguard reports that one of the deceased’s apprentices, who gave his name as Chimezie Ugwu while narrating the ugly incident said, “When I heard his horn, I opened the gate, then I heard gun shots and I ran back. He was about to drive in when he was shot”,
Fiday Uwakwe, another apprentice who followed Chimezie to open the gate for the deceased lamented that “Our madam was with him and two other apprentices were also in the car with them. We went to open the gate for them when we suddenly heard gunshot.
“Then I ran away. Later we heard Madam crying but before I came out the Audi car had left. One of our neighbours had rushed him to the hospital”.
Elder brother of late John Bosco, Solomon Udeh, decried the killing saying that the family was not ruling out an assassination.
“I feel very bad about it. I don’t have anything to say about the security situation in the state. He left behind four children and a wife. I don’t know what will happen to his children now. All I know is that my brother was assassinated”, Solomon said.
The police was yet to react to the incident at the moment.
