He noted that  Mr. Obunadike, a resident of Iyiowa in Ogbaru Council Area and a graduate of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, who was an apprentice at Bridge Head Market Onitsha, was reportedly killed on February 16, 2024. 


Iloh emphasized the need for an investigation to dispel tension and ensure accountability.
