The victims were reportedly stabbed to death between 8am and 11am on Wednesday, December 15.
According to a man who claimed to be Ibe’s neighbour, the house help is suspected to have poisoned the victims before stabbing them to death.
“It is believed that the house boy poisoned the doctor and his friend, hacked them to death, and stole his SUV, cash, and took off. I heard that he was arrested at the Nigeria-Niger border.” the neighbour said.
Quoting Ibe’s younger sister, Barrister Adanna Ibe, one Anthony Ogbo said the slain doctor was slated to leave for the United States of America with his friend the day they were murdered.
He added that they were stabbed several times in the chest and abdomen while Ibe’s new car, luggage and some documents were taken away by the killers.
Obi was ready to leave for the the airport. His friend came to pick him up. Adanna left for work.
She later called her brother to wish him safe journey but could not reach him. After several attempts, she then called the house boy. The house boy said he left Obi at home to go out for an errand.
Adanna got worried and went back home. On reaching home, the gate was locked from the outside with a new padlock. She called the house boy again who told her where to find the new key.
“She got into the house and found lifeless Obi and his friend in a pool of their own blood. They both have been stabbed several times in the chest and abdomen. His 5 month-old car and traveling luggage plus documents all gone.”
Meanwhile, friends, family and colleagues have taken to social media to mourn the doctor and seek justice over his murder.
