Chidike Emmanuel, a content creator and skit maker, was tragically shot dead on May 11, 2024, in the Mpape area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
Emmanuel was on set to film a content when he and five others were attacked by armed men.
Initial reports indicate that the attackers demanded money, and Emmanuel gave them N2,000, but the situation escalated, leading to his death.
The specific events that followed the payment and resulted in his death remain unclear.
Other cast members who tried to escape the attack sustained injuries.
Loveline Imaobong, an X user allegedly familiar with the incident, informed the public via X (formerly Twitter) that Emmanuel’s body was at a mortuary, urging anyone with information about his family to contact the Mpape police station.
The incident has sparked significant controversy and outrage online, with many people mourning Emmanuel’s death and calling for justice. The attackers have been alleged to be herdsmen, adding to the tensions and demands for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the tragic event.
His last tweet dated May 11 reads:
There’s been no power since yesterday night and I’m on Band A.
Guess what? When I recharge, I’ll still be charged the same amount and nothing will happen. The level of impunity in this country is alarming and y’all will get what’s coming for you @aedcelectricity
