By PAMELA EBOH, Awka
The corpse of slain aide to the Commissioner for Youths Development, Hon Patrick Aghamba, who was killed on his way to Abuja on Friday has arrived his home town, Onitsha in Anambta State.
The deceased aide who was identified as ABK Offiah was killed when gunmen attacked the Sienna car they were travelling with in Edo State, while the Commissioner and his wife were abducted and released 24hours later.
The arrival of the ambulance conveying Offia's corpse in a video making its round on social media attracted well-wishers who were visibly distraught, crying and cursing the people that killed him.
They could be heard saying amidst tears: Never let them rest, They shall not know peace, Pursue them till they are caught, among others.
News Express gathered that Offiah, a lawyer by profession, held the traditional title of Kpajiego in Onitsha.
His boss, Aghamba, and his wife were on Saturday night released by the kidnappers.
