Chief Nwalieze, who worked with Okeyson Transport, was getting ready to go to church when the attack occurred.According to family members, he went downstairs to the parking area where he kept his car spare parts and solar panel. When his family noticed that his cars were still parked and he was not answering his phone calls, they became worried.They later became suspicious of the gateman after he gave different stories about where Chief Nwalieze was.
