The Chairman/CEO, Ofoma Associates Limited, Chief Gab Ofoma has been murdered by gunmen on his way back to his base in Port Harcourt after he visited his home Nnewi in Anambra state on Sunday, February 20.
According to newsmen the gunmen attacked Ofoma’s vehicle around the Ukpor-Lilu-Orsumoghu-Azia-Mbosi Road, which connects Anambra and Imo states.
It was learnt that his driver made a diversion from the Onitsha-Owerri Highway due to the traffic on the road.
Eyewitnesses say the he may have been murdered because he was riding in an SUV and looked like a ‘big man’.
“Many people have been murdered on that road by these people who kill anybody that is in a big car and looks like a big man. It has become a crime to ride a big car in the South-East, except you have a battalion of security operatives guarding you” an eyewitness said
The late businessman was a senior estate surveyor and valuer with an estate surveying firm located in Port Harcourt, Nnewi, Abuja and Lagos. Moreso, it was gathered that he has over 150 people in his establishment.
