Nathaniel explained that the family was notified of Tammy’s death by a staff at the morgue his body was deposited.
“it was a staff at the Warri Central Hospital that called to inform us that his body was brought to the mortuary some mobile policemen,” he narrated.
While reason for the attack on the deceased is yet to be ascertained, the family suggests “it must have been a case of mistaken identity.”
The deceased had two wives, four children and aged mother and other dependence before his murder.
Attempts to contact the Police Public Relations Officer of the Delta State Command DSP Bright Edafe proved abortive as calls to his line were left unanswered as of press time.
