Many questions were on the lips of residents and passersby as the corpse of a young man presumed to be between the age of 20 and 21 was discovered in a well at Amawbia, Awka South Local Government Area, after missing for three days.
The questions were, “what really happened to the boy?”, “did he intentionally fall inside the well or was he pushed by someone? “, among others.
According to some residents of the area, the body which was identified as Mr Sunday, a native of Enugu State, was an apprentice in a barbershop in front of the compound where the said well is located.
Speaking to journalists, a resident of the area, Mr Emmanuel Michael explained that the said young man had been missing since last Sunday, after he came to work, only to be discovered yesterday, being Wednesday, the 21 July, 2021, by a plumber who came to repair the borehole that was connected to the well, which stopped to generate water since Monday because of the corpse dumped inside.
Narrating further, Mr Michael said that the owner of the barbershop where the late Mr Sunday was an apprentice, did not show any concern on hearing the tragic news of his boy’s death, but he rather opened his shop until an angry mob attacked his shop for not taking action on the demise of his boy.
When they arrived at the scene, it was observed that the barbershop had been attacked as the plastic signboard, doors and seats were destroyed.
According to people at the scene, the owner of the barbershop is now in police custody.
As at the time of filing this report, our reporter could not get any reaction from the police on the incident.
