A United States-based financial expert, Dr. Ogbo Edoga, was shot dead by gunmen in his hometown, Aku, Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area, Enugu State, yesterday. The deceased was a financial economist, who returned to attend the meeting of Nsukka USA, an organisation of Nsukka professionals in the United States to raise fund for the construction of an ultra-modern medical diagnostic centre in Ede-Oballa.
According to reports, the victim was trailed to the house of a kinsman by a five-man gang on a motorcycle, who accosted him and shot him at a very close range. He died on the way to the hospital. The bandits were reported to have escaped in a car belonging to a senior officer of the State Security Service (SSS), who was with the deceased at the time of the incident. The incident has thrown Aku community into pandemonium, disrupting programmes lined up by the villagers for the yuletide, notably the reception organised for indigenous priest and dedication of a new building by the twin brother of the deceased.
An eyewitness said the gunmen shouted at the deceased, “where is the money?” before opening fire. He reportedly pleaded with them to spare his life but they shot him with an AK47 rifle. Meanwhile, the Police Area Commander, Ros-Amson Halladu, confirmed the incident, describing it as hired killing. He also advised returnees to apply for police protection.
That is too bad!
I WONDER HOW THE SO CALLED ”BIAFRA” WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH THE INSATIABLE LUST FOR MONEY AMONG THE IGBOS. THEY WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE MONEY….”EGOOOOO” OVER THE LIVES OF THEIR OWN PPLE. TUFIAKWA!!!
Adisos, u are insane. U ve to read and conprehend before u comment ok. The repot said its mst ve been hired assasin. NOT A TRIBAL KILLING.
They are not hired assassin, they were armed robbers as usual. That is one of Igbos’ best professionsv
And what is the yoruba mans best profession , ganging up with the hausas to take over the oil wells in the south
east and south south .You basterds we shall soon take back all our oil wells and then we will see how you will
exist.
What has this killing got to do with ndigbo,biafra and money ? This type of killing is almost a daily occurence all over the country, instead of lamenting the lack of security in the land, you chose the way of ethnic bigotry. This is why nigeria is not moving forward, we prefer beating about the bush rather than discussing issues of national interest. I’m an igbo man and i agree that we love money and it is not a good quality, but tell me the tribe in nigeria that does not worship money.Those that looted the treasury of our country that is supposed to be the pacesetter for other african countries to this dilapitated state are they igbos ? The Hausa-fulani nation is the main player of corruption in the executive, the same can be said of the yoruba nation in the civil service without fear of being proved wrong.
Love for money is a trans- ethnic disease in nigeria with the igbos actively involved but not at the forefront.
Would you say there are no hired kllers in Yrubaland.Who killed gawat,and why,Who killed Dipo Dina and why ?who killed Funsho williams and why ?The High chief who was drownd in his own sweeping pool Nko? how many do you want me to mention.,
What has this got to do with money adisos i think u are one of those denieying thier igbo identity .igbo bu igbo kwenu
igbo land is a land of arms robbers .
God have mercy.
Stupid commentaries by idiots who are showing apparent
hatred for the IGBO nation.Like us or hate us, WE are a blessed and endowed nation.
It is true but have you seen what some of the Ndigbo write about other ethnic nationalities?
There is no perfect tribe.if u r talkin abt Igbo been filled with armed robbers what abt the other side that is filled with killing of one another in the name of Boko Haram and the other side that is filled with witch craft and so many other things. so u pple should just pray 4 our country Nigeria
I assume you’re a sister ? Your views are well considered but some of the Ndigbo say worse about others!
This is a tragedy and obviously these are not armed robbers but just blood-thirsty killers
every community or ‘nation’ has its own brand of miscreants. unfortunately, we africans apply too much sentiments and emotions when we analyze/dicuss issues. only a non-yoruba will criticise the yorubas, only a non-ibo will expose whats bad with the ibos, and only a non-hausa will point to the rot among the hausas. its one of the characteristics of the third world especially the blackman’s third world.
Truth is the Ibo culture inadvertently places a lot of value on financial/material possessions. The richest person attracts the most respect; and the society does not hesistate to classify you as a failure if you come home with the same car on three christmases in a row. You are expected to arrive with a new/different car on each visit. This societal pressure pushes the average person to his/her behavioural and ethical limits. So, rather than be the guilty, I’d rather see the average Ibo person as a victim by association.
The Yorubas, Hausas, Edos, Nupes, Tivs, Idomas, Kanuris, Igalas, Efiks, Ibibios, Itsekiris, Urhobos, Ijaws, Biroms, and the Katafs (to mention a few) each have a behavioural anomally engendered by its socio-cultural evolution.
Another GREAT setback for the blackman is this seemingly unshakable belief in witchcraft. Because of this belief, people tend to be lazy, irresponsible in their behaviours, non-daring, and violently acrimonious as there is always some poor scraggy scruffy but innocent old woman in the village to blame.
NO PRAYER WILL WORK FOR A NATION THAT KILLED MILLIONS OF HIS PEOPLE FOR A CRIME THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT.NIGERIA CAN’T MAKE ANY PROGRESS AS IT IS PRESENTLY STRUCTURED BUT THOSE MARGINALLY BENEFITING TODAY WILL NOT AGREE.
WE WAIT AND SEE HOW ALL THESE WILL END.THE POLICE AREA COMMANDER SAID THOSE THAT COME BACK SHOULD APPLY FOR POLICE PROTECTION,SO THE DR WAS KILLED BECAUSE HE DARED NOT APPLY FOR POLICE PROTECTION.THE MAN WAS WITHA DIRECTOR OF SSS THAT SHOULD HAVE AN ADC,WAS THERE AN EXCHANGE WITH THE SSS MEN WITH MAN OR THEY JUST KILLED ONLY THE MAN FROM U.S.
WE NEED HOME GROWNSOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEMS IN THE SOUTH EAST,WE CANNOT WISH THEM AWAY.YES OTHERS HAVE THEIR OWN ISSUES BUT WE HAVE ENORMOUS SECURITY PROBLEMS THAT WE MUSTADMIT THEY EXIST AND BEGIN TO SOLVE THEM
the villagers on the waiting has done their wost but one day every one will give account of him self,
the do not want other to return home for any development.
the robber’s own death is waiting for them at their door steps they will not escape it in JESUS AMEN.
Awele you’re a foolish man the report said people who were sent to kill, after all in your house they’re many of them stupid awele

Wicked generation, that is why our land is still undevelop. How could someone with such a nice intention for his people meet his end just like that. But its simply every being has path it must follow and he has followed his own , but it shall not be well for the wicked. Today is his own death, tomorrow is for his enemy, their own death shall be more misrable than his, for they shall die in a place where vulture will feed on their flesh. Meanwhile my message to Anti-Biafranist is that, this incident has no tribe connotation, it can happen anywhere else, Biafrans are not assassins but among the twelve they must Judas.
U spoke ma mind @ Opah. U c, i wonder y it’s very difficult 4 us to comprehend & make a genue comment in an issue like this. Let us liv tribal mata hie coz wat matas hie z D death of a gud citizen.
Nw, hw far hv de gone to apprehend the perpetrators?
Meanwhile, psychologicaly, D Chairman of dat Local gov.should b arrested along wit al dose pety politicians. D reason z bc, it is dose in politics myt do such 2 prevent dat work so dat de wil use it & play politics.
To d family of d decease, please accept ma condolence.
( I REST MA CASE ).
From the report they said where is the money which made me to understand that one of his close friend or associates planned it . So people saying trash words against igbo are imbeciles they seem to be very stupid. Base ur comment on the issue and leave tribal hatreds in our heart.
Are they not armed robbers? Armed robbery and kidnaping are one of the new professions that the Igbos have just invented. You know, they are good inventors and also the Jews of Africa. Foolish people.
Killing is it the best ?
IT’S UNFORTUNATE TO SEE SUCH WICKEDNESS RELEASED UPON ANOTHER FAMILY IN TIMES LIKE THIS, WHILE THE KILERS ENJOY A FUN-FILLED YULETIDE WITH THEIR FAMILIES. KILLER, YOU MAY HAVE ACCOMPLISH YOUR TASK-MASTERS ASSIGNMENT, BUT BE REST ASSURED THAT YOU HAVE ‘CURSED THE DESTINY OF YOUR GENERATIONS BY THIS EVIL WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN LURED TO COMMIT. I PRAY FOR YOU KILLERS AND YOUR TASKMASTERS, YOUR GENERATION SHALL NEVER PRODUCE ANYONE LIKE Dr. Ogbo Edoga. THE PAIN WHICH YOU HAVE RELEASED UPON Dr. Ogbo Edoga”s FAMILY SHALL RETURN TO YOU ALL IN TEN-FOLD. MAY THE SOUL OF THE DEPARTED NEVER REST UNTIL YOU ALL MEET BEFORE GOD IN HEAVEN. I PRAY FOR YOU KILLERS, DISGRACE AWAIT YOU ALL ANY MOMENT FROM NOW. WHEREVER YOU KILLERS AND YOUR SPONSORS HAVE SOWN IN CHILDREN AND IN INVESTMENTS, YOU WILL NEVER REAP FROM IT, NO MATTER HOW FLEDGING IT LOOKS TODAY. I WISH YOU HIS KILLERS WILL COME AND WITNESS HOW THE GOOD DOCTOR WILL BE CELEBRATED EVEN IN DEATH; HOW ABOUT YOU KILLERS???. KILLERS, YOU HAVE DESTROYED A ‘NEHEMIAH’, DESTRUCTION SHALL VISIT YOUR HABITATIONS IN STRANGE PATTERNS IN 2013. I PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR SPONSORS, WOE IS WHAT YOU HAVE SOWN IN YOUR BLOODLINE COME 2013. THE BIBLE SAYS, “EVIL BEGETS EVIL”. MAY GOD OF THE LIVING PERMIT THE DEAD TO DEAL WITH HIS KILLERS IN JESUS NAME. AND TO HIS FAMILIES, I SAY MAY THE GOOD LORD COMFORT YOU SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY. MAY HE OPEN DOORS OF OPPORTUNITIES UNTO YOU ALL. MAY HE RETURN ANOTHER DR. EGBO, TO THE FAMILY, A GRANDSON WHO WILL DO EVEN MORE THAN Dr. Ogbo Edoga DID IN HIS LIFE TIME IN JESUS NAME.
An igbo man is ready to do any thing just to make money, they can kill any body just for money, how can they kill a man with that kind of plan for his community, brafra cant never come to pass bcos crime will be at the highest level, an igbo is married to money, if u go there all u hear is money money and money may God help us
If u go to south africa the igbo’s r there commiting the highest crime robbery, drugs etc if these pple called igbo’s go to heaven God have to apologies to sodom and komorra
Jay jay, plz shut up ur dirty mouth for if u don’t know what to say u better be calm. Idiot like u.
What a senseless waste valuable lives of some of our best brains by useless criminals? The Igbo nation must rise against these criminals and their sponsors. Edoga remains one of our best brains. This is sad.
Who among them would rise against violence and crimes. Crime is part of Igbos’ DNA. All over the world the Igbos are well known for different types of crimes. Recently they kidnapped the mother of finance minister for ransom. Am sure if these people have the opportunity, they would have annexed sun and air for money. They are extremely selfish. Every Igbo family has at least one armed robber or 419 or kidnapper in the family just as the Ondo and Ekiti people have at least one professor in each family. If the Ondo and Ekitii states are known to be states of professors; then all Igbo states should be known as states of armed robbers and kidnappers.
I never believe something like this can happen in Igbo land we in Abroad whenever we are hear this candy of news we feel we are not save even when we come in our father Land,how can a gunmen go after money then human life is that the better sgin of Biafra Land?……beside sometime i feel our Govrt don’t want to do something on that killing every-time in Nigeria.
Wonder shall never end in jews land, a man who love his people so much that he came home to help improve living condition for his people n de jews of this nation still wasted his life eventhough he was one of them. I wonder what they would’ve done to other tribes?. Somebody must have sold him out cos of money. Jews u realy need to change ur orientation towards money, afterall money is not everything.
W
THESE HOODLUMS JUST WASTED THAT DR.OGBONA’S LIFE. HE HAD GOOD INTENSION TO ASSIST IN HIS OWN LITTLE WAY TO HIS PEOPLE BUT INSTEAD OF ALLOWING HIM THEY SNOFF THE LIFE OUT OF HIM. REST IN PEACE DR. WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOU AND WE WILL CHERISH YOUR INTENSIONS. THANKS.
what is happening for Christ sake? person is no more save in his father’s land, these hired killers, do they ever realize the harm they are causing to their generation and even to themselves, just for the sake of money they accept the contract of wasting a life the don’t know when, how and why God created it. You hired killers you should have a rethink and quit this kind of job that endangers your generation and your life, no matter what ever the person must have done to you, allow God to use His own Angels of waster to do the killing not you causing problems
to your selves. God is love, bible says He kills and maketh life. So why heaping coals of tire on your heads. Have a rethink of heart, may his soul rest in peace, Amen
Police is telling us that we should come and apply for protection? Fine….
The police will rat you out. Don’t even dignify that advice, unless you wanna add to the statistics!
Criminality is all over Nigeria inrespect of tribe or geographical region. But, that of eastern part of the country is extreme. Igbo and crime plus getting rich at all means can not be easily separated. See those idiot have wasted the life of an innocent man who is very usefull for everybody.
Hwo can ur son came from USA to build hospital or what ever,that is good in is area. and they kill him and ask,where is the money,that is ibo person for u,money is their God.i wounder hwo Biafra will be,if u get ur own so call country, no body will remain in 10yrs only the poor, and those ones will be use for ritualist.i pray nigeria split into 5 part,s.east biafra,s.south niger delta, s.west odudowa, mid-belt-christian north and far north BH.we all have peace for ever,where part face is own problem,and lives others out.
Igbos have started killing themselves, all the way from abroad to meet his death at home town, very bad
there no peace for d wicked
It is unfortunate that a very productive and intelligent person that will benefit the entire humanity is wasted just like that. My sincere condolences to the entire humanity
But our Igbo nation should learn lessons. When you talk of kidnapping, it is the Igbo nation, Armed robbery, money money money. People are now afraid to go home because of what is happening in Igbo land. Our peoples in Europe, America and other parts of the world are refusing to come back home because of what is going on in Igboland. I cry for my nation Igbo. Very sorry
Some Yoruba commentators here are so foolish. Is it not a fact that a Yoruba man planned and executed an armed robbery attack against his own mother that returned from abroad with his friends which they succeeded in killing the mother. Tell me type of criminal act a Yoruba man has not committed before because of money.
Pls you bigots can go to hell for it is rightly where you belongs. You are only envious of Nde Igbo.
It is the highest act of wickedness.therefore i decree that, if the killer of dr ogbo Edoga did not come out to confess to a priest and to God will not live to see end of this year.QED.
An igbo man works to earn His money but the Yoruba’s kill and do all kinds of ritual just to buy a honda baby boy,the earlier Yoruba’s stopped their enviousness against ndigbo blessing will come to their land….Who are the looters of our national treasure?what about the police force(Tafa Balogun),Pension and other civil offices in Nigeria?Nigerians are suffering today cos of the Yoruba’s and Hausa’s,igbos are bad but they cant let them go…foolish people..
I said that i will not comment in this forum but i think i have to so that i will remind Yorubas the enormous crime they have committed in this stupid country call Nigeria.1st we remember the popular 1 million gang at Ajegunle in Lagos recently,was it in Igbo land?2ndly the two brothers that killed their brother for ritual and it happened at Festac also Lagos,3rdly wat about white garment church pastor who killed his church member in Ogun and wanted to use her head for ritual,4th wat about a young girl who escaped from the hands of ritualist in the Lagos wen she was going for night vigil but other passengers in thesame bus with her wasnt lucky.5th wat about a Yoruba man from Osun state who came to Enugu early this year and he was poisening Vulture and were parking it inside the bag he came with and wen the villagers caught him they nearly burn him alive before police came to his rescue.So my people you see among the tribes in Nigeria that love money and the highest ritualist tribe in Nigeria are Yorubas followed by Edos and Housas.We all know that Yorubas like money more than themselves.So Kola Amodu,Sam Sam,Silas,Uross,Awale,Jay Jay you people should stop deceiving yourselves because we all knows the extent Yorubas,Edos and Housas can go because of money,less i forget wat about Witches and Wizards,Babalawo,white garment and Ogboni infected Yoruba and Edo land.Tufiakwa!!!
dey just wasted his life so dt he wunt become d governor of the state or do more, cos most of his mates has nt gotten to his level. so is all about envy. but i pity who envy gud. success will never come dia way. are u wasting someone’s life when u are not sure of urs? we better repent. u killers sorry for u. Dr Edoga may ur soul rest in the bossom of the lord.
There is no peace for the wicked . God will surely punish those who killed this man that have good intention for his people . We shd stop politicising any incident that happen, d fact is dat an innocent life was wasted . It can happen any where .
Stine, one thing i know about this jews, even if they get biafra , it will never last cos of their quest for money. They will get biafra to destroy themselves. If a crime is committed in any part of this country, if u investigate this crime u will find out that a nigerian jews is behind this cime. There is no country on this earth, whereby a nigerian jews is not serving prison term. Nigerian jews will do anything for money, they will kill their own mother for money. Beeni, to them money is their God. U better change ur orientation toward money jews.if not u will all wipe urself out for eegooooo. Nigerian jews n money.
injustice has taken over nigeria
@edward u re nt wise at all….u make comments like a fool. Educate ur self and ask God for wisdom
edward and kola amodu, without being told, from the words of your mouth, I have seen from your comments that it is actually armed robbers that impregnated your mothers. you both lack home training which only comes from good men. you both and others like you are actually worse than even armed robbers. What about olusegun obasanjo and ibrahim babangida who stole the sum of money no armed robber has ever stolen from nigeria’s purse. nigeria is a country of armed robbers and people worse than even armed robbers. idiots
All those speaking against the Igbos are nothing but fools. If Igbos are not good why are u people finding it difficult to allow them gain independence? Without Igbos there will be no Nigeria. All of u are idiots that don’t think rationally.
Hired assasins don’t demand for money. They are well paid for what they do. I have said it before and I will say it again. The govt of a people will responsible for any life lost unjustly by whoever for whatsoever reason. The people’s safety is a serious govt’s responsibility. It is part of what they are highly paid for.
Mohammed thank you so much for your wise comment and God bless you.I Keep saying it that Housas are far better than this selfish,sentimental and sabotour tribe call Yorubas and Housas are far more trust worthy and sincere than this ndi ofemmanu
I keep saying it and i will keep repeating it that Housa tribe are far more trusted and better than this god forseking tribe call Yoruba with full of witches and wizards,sentiment,selfish,hatred,sabotours etc and i wish revise were the case to that Yorubas will come from the North while Housas to the West then Nigeria would have been a better country
Yoruba tribe that is known with hypocritical atitude and two adges of sword whith highest percentage of idol worship infected tribe like sango,ifa etc and that was why we Igbos that represent Christianity in the whole world never see and trust those Yoruba Christians as a true Christians and thesame thing goes to the Housas that represent Islam never trusted Yoruba muslims as a true muslims and i sincerely believe that the pagans in Nigeria dont trust them too and sees them as the true idol worshipers,hahahahaha.Yorubas i keep saying it and i will keep repeating it that you people are like Bat that doesnt belong to either Animal family nor Bird family,shame to Yoruba tribe,coward tribe
It appears we have many educated illitrates in this forum. We have a national tragedy in our hand, and instead of addressing that we are here talking trash. The enormity of what happened did not arouse your consciousness. Look at a man that came home to contribute his quota to the upliftment of his people, and the only way to compensate him is to murder him in cold blood. How do we convince other people to come and invest in our country? Will his professional colleagues there in the states ever want to come close to Nigeria, where life is short and brutish? Do we still place any premium on human lives in Nigeria? We should be ashamed of ourselves individually and collectively for landing ourselves where we are today. My heart bleeds!
Hugo n stine both of u are very sick n by de way Hugo , has ur sister finally died of her Aids invested vírus. U n ur parent sold ur land to send her to Italy, don’t tell me u didn’t know she was going there to become slag, slut ,whore. In de process she got her death. Am really not sorry she got it cos she deserve it. Do u think by keeping her arrival quiet peoplle will not know after she was finally deported from Milano. Are u ashame of her now, u can not be cos both ur parent n u used her for selfih intrest. Hmmmm Nigerian jews n money. Stine am sure u have brain touched that is de reason why u speak from both sides of ur stinking mouth. I know ur people believe in Jesus so much that almost all able nigerian jews are now armed robbersn kidnappers,419, drug pusher, child traffic ritualist. Name any crime in this world a nigerian jews must be behind it. U still think u’ve mouth to talk bad of other people in nigeria. Don’t u have any shame at all. Onye ara.
kola amodu, you lack ideas and that is why i insist
that your mother was impregnated by not an armed robber but armed robbers. yes, i mean it.obasanjo
is the biggest armed robber stupid nigeria has ever produced and he is yoruba like you. idiots. you will die of jealousy cos the IGBOS WHO you hate will always be head and shoulder above your tribe and generation. mother fucker !
