Parents Of Murdered Nigerian In Ghana University Suspect Roommate

Recently, a Nigerian, Godwin Ayogu,
was brutally murdered at the University
of Cape Coast in Ghana.
Channels Television’s correspondent,
Amarachi Ubani, visited the parents of
the late student said to have been killed,
disemboweled, and the body dumped in
front of his hostel at school.
Godwin’s murder was the fourth
recorded in one year in Ghana.
As much as the death has been left for
the authorities to determine, Godwin’s
father feels his son’s murder was
planned by his Ghanaian roommate,
Abotsi Gweus, known to his friends as
Enay.
This happened over a month ago, and
involved some leg work, provided by the
Nigerian High Commission in Ghana,
said to be working closely with the
family.
Understandably, the whole family is still
grieving, they have not received the
body, neither has it been buried.
His mother described him as the
‘strength of her youth.’
She never imagined she would be saying
good bye this way, to a son she last
saw in December last year, and one,
who had said I love you, on valentine’s
day, five days before his death.
Ghana Must Go Revenge
The father of the murdered student, Mr
Fred Ayogu, said that some other
Nigerians had escaped murder attempts
in Ghana.
“Someone living close to us here that
graduated from the same university
escaped death. He was lucky. They
collected his school fees and wanted to
kill him. They collected one million
Naira from him and when he went for
the money, they wanted to kill him.
“When I went to Ghana, they told me
that they have vowed to punish
Nigerians because of the ‘Ghana Must
Go’ issue. They are still harbouring the
anger that they were sent out of
Nigeria” he said.
Mr Ayogu said that the Ghanaian
authority was delaying investigations
because “the suspected roommate is a
Ghanaian”.
Mr Ayogu speaks in his own words, how
he learnt of his son’s death, and the
many unanswered questions, like why
his son did not pay his school fees, as
directed by his father, or why his
roommate, had the said fees in his
possession, and why the said
roommates has not been arrested as
prime suspect in the murder.
