According to an eye witness account, the man, identified as Friday, a native of Ogunzelu, village, Awka-Etiti, started behaving strangely on Saturday morning and removed his clothes to the surprise of his neighbours and other traders who were arriving the market for business before he started his open confession.
While confessing, he said he was responsible for the death of a popular trader in the market identified as Samson Ileka, a pharmacist and owner of Sam Medical and Provision Store, behind his shop who, according to sources, died Thursday night and was buried Friday in his hometown, Ichida, in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Friday was also allegedly to have confessed that he had sent many children, women and other businessmen in Awka-Etiti and other parts of the state to their early graves.
