According to Fred Enanga the police spokesperson, initial investigations indicate that on the fateful night, the victim left his home in the morning, to attend a friend’s wedding. After the wedding his driver, dropped him at his home at around 9pm.

At around 10pm, Enanga says that the victim and his wife, Cherotic went to sleep in their double roomed house.

An immediate search was conducted at the premises of the deceased, and suspected blood stains recovered from the walls in the bedroom and from under their marital bed.

“Although the wife claims that the victim was called on phone by someone, to go and carry out an operation on a patient and never returned home, there is no evidence yet, supporting her claim.

We wish to inform the public, that no matter how well, a cover up is made surrounding the heinous act, we will uncover the truth,” said Enanga.
