Tension In South-East Over Killing Of A Wealthy Igbo Business Man Martins Nwankwo

                             
An Igbo Man based in Martins Nwankwo has committed suicide at his residence in Tunga, a suburb of Niger State capital, Minna, leaving behind his pregnant wife and five children.


 Nwankwo is very wealthy and successful Minna business man,  and owns a fleet of electronic shops in Minna, Port Harcourt and Abuja . He was said to have shot himself in the stomach.
A source in his residence said that the gun sound alerted neighbours, who rushed to the residence of the deceased only to find him dead with his licensed gun by his side.
Confirming the incident, the Niger state Police Public Relations Officer, Richard Oguche,  said that it was suspected that the deceased may have committed suicide, but did not leave a suicide note.
The police spokesman, however, said that investigation was still on but the preliminary findings by the police revealed that there was no sign of external attack on the house.
