According to sources his driver made a detour from the Onitsha-Owerri Highway en-route Port Harcourt, due to the traffic jam on the highway.

The source said his ‘crime’ could probably be that 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,” the source said

When contacted the state police command spokesman, Ikenga Tochukwu, he said there is no such report before the command.
