….Drove the corpse in his vehicle’s boot for hours

A graphic details of how Mr. Tony Iyeke, the Globacom Telecommunication Regional Manager, South-South Zone in Effurun, Delta State was gunned down in a hail of bullets has been painted by his elder brother, Mr. Peter Iyeke.

In deep distress, the elder Iyeke said that his late sibling was driving in his red Mercedes Benz Sports Utility Vehicle along Warri-Effurun Road at about 8 in the night on Thursday February 3, 2022 when he ran into the heavily armed hoodlums who were operating in Effurun, near the oil town of Warri, Delta State.

How gunmen killed Globacom executive in Delta

The veteran journalist explained that the armed men flagged him down only to shoot him on the leg, tied his legs and hands before dragging him to the boot of the vehicle, locked him up for hours as they cruised along the city, shooting and robbing people.

He said that the gunmen eventually abandoned the vehicle with the remains of Tony who bled to death.

He said that the blood soaked vehicle was found at about 11 pm by the police, well over three hours after he was fatally shot, adding that the assailants didn’t go after his money.

The Benin, Edo State based journalist said that the deceased from the small town of Ewatto, Esan South East Local Government Area of Edo State, a father of two, a boy and a girl was an upwardly mobile executive whose life was brutally cut short by the killers, a mere 12 days shy of his 47th.

He took to his Facebook page to mourn his younger brother whom he described as the breadwinner of the family, eulogizng: “In a pensive look having lost my only biological brother, same parent through the evil hands of hoodlums in Effurun, Delta State.

“Until his sudden death he was the Regional Manager South/South Zone Globacom based in Warri.

“No hidding place for the wicked…The Bible says so,” he lamented.

Persistent efforts to reach the Delta State Police spokesman, Mr. Bright Edafe proved futile as his mobile phone was serially engaged.
