NAN learnt that the suspect claimed that a charm he possessed revealed to him that the passenger was an evil person, hence his decision to kill him.

According to sources, the suspect picked the passenger on March 13 and allegedly took the passenger to his other colleagues at Onireke, where the suspect and others attacked and killed him.

Sources said that the suspect would be charged to court as soon as investigation into the matter was concluded.
