Suspicious death of Mr. Chris Onaghise: A case of culpable homicide against the management of Lagoon Restaurant, Lagos
We are solicitors to Mr. Orobosa Onaghise (hereinafter referred to as ‘our Client’) on whose instructions we write to you.
Now listen, the pics after the cut are really graphic. It was sent to me so I figure they want people to see what happened to this young man so I will share it...but be warned it's really graphic. Continue..Our Client briefed us as follows: That the Late Mr. Chris Onaghise (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Deceased’) is his son and until his demise, a staff of Lagoon Restaurant, Victoria Island, Lagos. Our client further informed us that on Monday 16th June, 2014, he received a telephone call from a lady (who did not want to be identified) informing him that something tragic had happened to the deceased at his workplace. Our client consequently rushed to the Lagoon Restaurant but despite his best efforts could only arrive there after two (2) hours. Upon arriving at the Lagoon Restaurant, our client was informed that the deceased fell into the lagoon while on duty at about 10:00am that morning and was still in the lagoon.
Our client demanded to know
why no immediate rescue efforts were made to rescue the deceased and one Mr. Rami,
the Managing Director of the Lagoon Restaurant informed our client that the
Restaurant had no life jackets, divers or indeed safety apparatus. Upon our
client’s persistence, the Managing Director invited a lady vide a telephone
conversation who identified herself as a Police Officer from Bar Beach Police
Station in charge of the investigations .
On enquiry as to the extent
of investigations, our client was bluntly informed by the Police Offices that
investigations had been concluded and that she believed that the deceased
slipped, fell into the lagoon and consequently lost his life. Our client was
curious as to how the investigations could have been concluded when the body of
the deceased was still in the Lagoon and none of the eye-witnesses or the management
of the Lagoon Restaurant had been questioned. Our client’s concerns were
ignored by the Police Officer and the deceased was abandoned in the Lagoon
despite the agitations of our client till 10:00pm.
Our client further informed
us that the next day (17th June, 2014), he visited the Bar beach
Police Station where he met with the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) and
enquired about the recovery of the body of the deceased and further
investigation, to our client’s utter bewilderment, the DPO denied knowledge of
the existence of the case and the allegedly concluded investigations. The DPO
subsequently ordered an investigation and an invitation of all the eye
witnesses including the Managing Director of the Lagoon Restaurant.
The DPO subsequently
directed a recovery of the body of the deceased. At about 10:00pm on Tuesday,
17th June, 2014, the body of the deceased was allegedly recovered
from the same spot in which he was said to have slipped. A cursory look at the
body of the deceased disclosed bruises and blood stains all over the face
suggestive of a physical confrontation before the alleged drowning. To further
confirm the foregoing suspicions, the deceased body did not show any signs of
bowel enlargement consistent with drowning. Do find attached images of the body of the deceased to buttress the
foregoing.
The question begging to be
answered arising from these facts are as follows:
1.
Why is the obvious physical state of the body
of the deceased inconsistent with the management’s narration of events leading
to the death?
2.
In the unlikely event that the management of
Lagoon Restaurant’s account of events is accurate, what are the safety measures
put in place by the management of the Lagoon Restaurant to prevent such
occurrence, since it carries on business in a high risk environment?
3.
Why was the staff that called to inform our
client of the incident sacked immediately?
4.
Why did the management of the Lagoon
Restaurant break into the deceased personal locker while the key to the said
locker was found on the deceased’s body?
We are consequently constrained to write this petition to your exalted office as our client has become increasingly frustrated with the nonchalant attitude with which the Bar Beach Police Station is handling the investigations and the desperate efforts of Mr. Rami, the Managing Director of the Lagoon Restaurant (a Lebanese national) to conceal and destroy evidence that will aid the authorities to resolve all the queries raised by the foregoing facts.
We therefore urge you to use your good offices to order a full investigation and Coroner’s Inquest for the purpose of resolving the foregoing questions and consequently prefer criminal charges against all those found culpable.
We anticipate your urgent intervention in this matter.

ReplyDeleteThis guy was tortured.the Lebanese and most foreign nationals especially the big wigs get away with so much in this country.
ReplyDeleteMr keyamo,I believe you Will not relent.if the least you can get is a financial settlement for the family,please make sure it's a huge sum cos I doubt very much if our corrupt judicial system will convict and sentence the management.
I reject untimely death in Jesus name. Amen. This is really bad, I pray that God help the family to get the right justice and also console them. It is well
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! Pray they find out the truth! That calm looking young man!
ReplyDeleteMay his soul Rip.
ReplyDeleteThese Lebannese Men it is getting too much of them
ReplyDeletelINDA let the truth be told; this boy was first bont with hot water before he was killed and throne into the ocean, the way at which these so called white are treating and killing our Nigerians is unbecoming please let every one with his/her usefull office put every necessary effort to save the lifes of innocent Nigerians. and our Nigerian Police stop the cover up, how much are there paying you, to cover for an innocent life, it could be Chris Onaghise today; but remember tomorrow it'll be your own child or someone very close to your heart: REMEMEBER.

ReplyDeleteJesus christ.....horrible death....RIP
ReplyDeleteThis is a gory sight. people are cruel. Liars! that body luks lyk hot oil was poured on him, it doesn't correlate with the body of a mere-drowned corpse. God have mercy. justice must take its full course here.

ReplyDeleteO what a wasted life!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteflexycouture@yahoo.com
OMG!this is more then what they are claiming
ReplyDeleteVery pathetic. I suggest they carry out serious forensic investigation and autopsy to first determine the cause of death before the case can be continued. May his soul RIP.
ReplyDeleteWell i am very knowledgeable on this kinda of thing and i can tell you something. The height from which he fell and the availability of rocks where he slipped and fell should be checked. So if he fell and hit the rocks then his head can be bruised. Also if there are not rocks, the COD(Cause Of Death) can be reviled with an autopsy like presence of water in his lungs signifies that he actually drowned. They should allow me handle this case, i watch so much detective movies and stuff.
ReplyDeleteLol...
DeleteReally?
Lol...such a way to begin, and conclude.
You may be right, but lol...

No way, i think someone killed the guy.
ReplyDeleteLord Jesus!!!!!….He was killed!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is real definition of horror....
ReplyDeleteGod forbid....
This is not fair, the management should be investigated and charged.
ReplyDeleteWhat else do you expect in a country as corrupt and lawless as Nigeria, be that as it may, what sort of rubbish are these lebanese perpetuating in this country, they were poor in their country, came to Nigeria and became rich as a result of the enabling environment they met but rather than appreciate the people of the land became hostile to them. This has got to stop, I support all actions against these evil people.... If our government can't fight for us then let's fight cos palestine is now suffering as a result of allowing Isreal to treat them the way they like.
ReplyDeletethis is not fair

ReplyDeleteOnly in Nigeria... I hope this case is treated well and justice prevails; if not i hope his spirit will hunt all those concerned till they confess!!!
ReplyDeleteHis body looks like hot substance was poured on it (hot oil? hot water?). I will blame this on our careless system that even allowed them to have a business by the lagoon without necessary facilities available (You have a restaurant by the lagoon and you dont have emergency services available?)Which means you dont even care about the safety of your workers and your customers.
Whoever killed this young man would die before his time. He would reap his reward in this life and the life to come. Except he genuinely repents and makes restitution. Otherwise he would die a violent death.
ReplyDeleteI hope investigation is commenced ASAP. Cos this is strange.
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace..amen

ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to this murder story, if you have worked in a Lebanese owned coy like me in Nigeria you will understand how brutal they are to Nigerians and how shameless NPF get paid peanuts by them and cover them up. I hope Mr. Kelamo can bring them to justice, I trust him though.
ReplyDeleteLord have mercy!! RIp
ReplyDeleteEyah! His face certainly looks bruised. May his soul rest in peace!
ReplyDeleteAuthorities shld check his call logs to see if he has bn havin issues at work wit his boss. Such a boss is culpable. D case shld be transferred to force hdqtrs in abuja asap! Lagoon restaurant shld be closed forthwith to start a thorough investigation and lots of staffers shld be under interrogation by now. Lastly and my fear- dese lebanese hv a way of infiltratin d govt and always havin it their way. If d case is becomin too hot for dem, dey may bring forward a nigerian sacrificial lamb who wil admit to fightin wit d deceased dat mornin b4 his death. Its a nation dat gives justice to d highest bidder. RIP to d deceased
ReplyDeletei dont trust that MD......dont trust those KORAS
ReplyDeleteSo bad
ReplyDeleteThe guy was murdered, the lebanese man should be arrested without further delay. May his soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeletefrom the picture viewed this young man was murdered and thrown into the lagoon,if he drowned as claimed his body wouldnt have been in one place since the last time he fell.he would have been washed off by wave.there is more to this story.See bruises all over his face,indicates he was beaten and tortured.
ReplyDeleteThis is so terrible Linda. Poor guy. May his soul find solace in eternal glory.
ReplyDeleteJesus. This is too bad. Rip.
ReplyDeleteBar Beach Police Station is a disgrace. They are very, very corrupt. It should be shut down and overhauled. All the staffs should be replace.
ReplyDeleteThe Lagoon Restaurant should be shut down and never allowed to reopen.
Mr. Rami, the Lebanese murderer, should be arrested and detained immediately. After prosecution, he must be hanged and his body dumped in the lagoon.
Heavy handedness on expatriates by the Nigerian authorities is the only thing that will deter expatriates in Nigeria from maltreating their Nigerian employees. They must not be allowed to keep lording over Nigerians.
I support u,we need a faithful justice.

Rip. This is bad
ReplyDeleteThis young man was brutally murdered. I hope his family sues the lagoon restaurant management for all it's worth . Thats unacceptable. Hopefully , justice will be served and someone or some people will be charged with murder.

ReplyDeleteWhy the brutality in the land? Something is definitely wrong Spiritually to the land. Lord, deliver us from all evil.
ReplyDeleteThis Guy Was Murdered Ni Joor. (Linda's Man)
ReplyDeletebut guese is high time dis lebanese liv our country cos dey re causing more harm to nigerians..jst feeling for d poor family
ReplyDeleteFrom the look of this body, this poor boy was tortured, killed and then dumped in the water. The fact that the management of that restaurant is witholding information is proof enough that foul play is involved. Then the police, the rotten, blasted police force we have in this country is trying to hastily close the case... Perhaps because the man involved is a Lebanese and he has bribed them heftily. Those disgusting pieces of white trash come to this country and treat their workers like mere objects. The other time, a lebanese bastard beat a pregnant woman working for him till she miscarried. How did that end? No matter what he did, he sure didn't deserve such a death. My heart is heavy and I pray that whoever did this to this boy never finds peace till he/she dies in a more painful manner!
ReplyDeleteLet justice be maintained. So horrible to behold. LIB Princess! Pretex4luv@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteits rada appalling how comfortably expatriates take advantage of dia Nigerian employees, despite d fact dey r being paid stipends.
ReplyDeleteDear GOD, first of all, I will never visit that lagoon restaurant again,if they had any thing to do with death of this poor guy, I ask that every Nigerian should stop going to that restaurant.Murder's restaurant this should be their new name. The poor boy probably discovered some evil things done in the restaurant,such as poor food hygiene, passing dog meat for beef etc or an embezzlement by a staff. This a way of keeping him silence.
ReplyDeleterest in peace chris. my jss 1 & 2 classmate. saw u last 2010/11. hmm this life!!
ReplyDeleteFucking lebanese and their stuck in trade, fraud, bribery, cover ups, murders etc. Our police have got to get to the roots of the matter and bring these godforsaken asshole lebanese to book.
ReplyDeleteThe only solution I will proffer on this occasion is an eye for an eye that's d only way d family will get closure and justice . Rip to their child .
ReplyDeleteMore Dan hiding * ds boi found out something n was killed 4 dat reason* his locker was broken 2 se if he as written anything concerning wat he found out. Hope dey re not selling human parts.
ReplyDeleteWe are in a very corrupt country but God is not sleeping
ReplyDeleteMost definitely this guy was brutally murdered. Like he was beaten, bruised, doused with some form of hot liquid and drowned.
ReplyDeleteJUSTICE MUST BE SERVED!
