We are reliably informed, that the remains of Dr. Stephen Eke, Esq, has left Abuja where he was assassinated, to his home town Owerri, to be kept in the mortuary as family members come to terms with this tragedy and plan for his burial.
Dr. Stephen Eke, Esq., a graduate of University of Jos, was on Saturday last week shot at Abacha Road, Karu Abuja in front of his son.
Good samaritans rushed him to more than 3 hospitals but were rejected because his wounds were gunshot. He gave up the ghost while.
