Unidentified assailants have tragically ended the life of a Correctional Center official in Kwale, located within the Ndokwa West local government area of Delta State. The perpetrators also absconded with the victim’s motorcycle.
The deceased, identified as Mr. Oghenekaro Araja, aged 47, fell victim to the attack near the Ogume junction region of the town.
This incident is potentially linked to the recent resurgence of motorcycle theft in the area, particularly during nighttime hours.
A reliable source has shared that the unfortunate demise of Mr. Araja occurred as he was utilizing his motorcycle for commercial transportation purposes. Tragically, this occurred during the evening hours following his work shift, as he sought additional means to make ends meet.
The state command police public relations officer, CSP Bright Efafe, confirmed the incident, saying, “Even though he was working there (the correctional center), he was also a commercial motorcyclist (Okada rider).
“It is suspected that it was a passenger that did it to him. He hit him from behind and made off with his motorcycle. There was no injury.”
