Photo: Man shot dead in Enugu state just a day before his wedding

Engr. Uzochukwu Eze, (pictured above with his fiancee) whose wedding was supposed to be yesterday Saturday September 6th, was shot dead on Friday September 5th by unknown gun men

Eze was killed at a filling station close to Dhamija Bridge at the Trans-Ekulu area of Enugu State while trying to buy fuel. 4 other people including the manager of the filling station, a pump attendant and another customer buying fuel are said to have lost their lives as the gun men opened fire indiscriminately.

Sources say the groom-to-be was trailed to the filling station and before he could get down from his car, the gunmen, suspected to be cultist, opened fire, killing him instantly.

Enugu Police said they have commenced investigation into the killing.

FACT: once a cultist, your sins follow you even right outta the university. Whether the man was a cultist, we might never know but young people today have gotta realize that there is more to life than being in the spotlight! The University is just a small stage in this thing called life, life begins outside the 4 walls of the educational system, schools are just a training ground for the real world, so live it well.

When you say its end time........ then its not far fetched! how can this happen. Bad luck for the fuel attendant and the order person who innocently came to buy fuel.

Gold Williams said...

First of all Linda it's not Damija bridge...it's ekulu bridge and robbers attack that station regularly. me I no know where u fron dey get some of ur news. Get ur facts right. He was just there coincidentally. Just pure bad luck. Nobody trailed him there. It's the closest place to get fuel around that area. So ask questions before u jusst post. Dis no b olamide Mata o.

Toronto Finest said...

Maybe he was a cult memeber too when he was in sch and might have killed too

I keep saying it, you are a boy who keeps posing as a girl. An Igbo boy for that matter. You better concentrate and sell in that Nnewi market if you want your oga to settle you after 7yrs. It's only an Igbo boy that will bear wilheminna, Polycarp and other dry names.

Both groom and bride were killed. Police account is not accurate. I usually buy petrol from the Filling station. Eye witness account said the gun men entered the filling station and started shooting. The man who was about fuelling his jeep tried to run with reverse. Unfortunately, his back tyres fell into a nearby gutter. As he tried driving out of the gutter, they came after him. They shot at him while he drove out. He lost control and landed in a ditch probably because of bullet wound. The gun men pursued him to the ditch and killed both groom and bride inside their jeep. Its unfortunate.

I am a friend to the deceased Uzochukwu Ezeh. We recovered his body after the incident. linda please get this information straight. Uzochukwu was not trailed, he drove into a robbery in progress. While trying to escape, the gunmen opened fire on him killing him instantly. Insecurity in enugu is the order of the day. Every night there are gunshots in transekulu, people killed and maimed. This was no isolated incident, this is an everyday event. Please linda tell the world, help us. Police is not doing anything about it.

Very painful, Rip man.

People please. I knew the guy very well. I live in Transekulu as well. he was a gentle soul. He was almost a priest but didnt finish seminary school. A religious man to the core. Soft spoken. He had no ties what so ever to any cult. it was just a horrible incident. he drove into a robbery in progress. The manager of the filling station was killed during the raid and many others. Enugu has no security

All the robber they chased from Anambra by gov obiano are now in enugu. that is why robbery is so high in Enugu. Enugu state used to be a peaceful town. Now its a den of thieves

@hilaryObiorah. Shut up you dumb fool. You didnt know uzochukwu. He was the most honest, straight human being i d ever met. He was to be a preist but cos he was shy and stammered, he couldnt make it. I pray you never experience what happend to my friend and people will not speak evil of you as you spoke of my friend. You are part of this wickedness for not concentrating on the evil done but laying blame. you really are empty

Anonymous said...

Linda Ikeji. Uzo is an ex student of CDSSE 2000 set to be precise before proceeding to the University. He was never a cultist. You're not in enugu so get your stories well. He wasn't trailed. He just went to buy fuel in company of his bride and a friend. 3 of them were killed including the manager of the fuel station. A policeman who was on a convoy was also killed while he was trying to control traffic. So dear, mind what you say. They were victims of circumstances.

Please stop saying rubbish! I saw his bride this night! It was his cousin who is the chief bridesmaid that was killed . It was robbers that killed him not these cult rubbish. Linda u really need to know when to be sensitive with what you put on the blog without verifying this is so unfair. Look at idiots saying things they don't know about a dead person

i live close to where this happened and the true story is that they were robbers who informed the filling station of their visit two weeks before. so SARS ppl were invited but since they were there and nothing happened they left. The robbers noting a clear coast came angrily on fri around after 6 in the evening and shot the manager who got married last two months and his wife is heavily pregnant. she fainted when she heard the news. the engr above lives opp my street and he went to buy fuel with a lady his people sent to bring him a wedding gif as they would not be able to attend the feast. he was in a black jeep

Wow, for whatever reason, cult or armed robbery the truth remains that loved ones were killed. Precious lives were lost. May their souls rest in peace and may the planners and killers have it in mind that one day, their own date with death will come and they will be judged. Very sad situation.
