The Chief Executive Officer of Educare – an online learning platform, Alex Onyia, has disclosed how his friend, Kene Nnadi, narrowly escaped death.
Onyia, known for sponsoring the tutorials of some candidates of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, shared the news via his X handle late Tuesday.
Tweeting as #winexviv, Onyia noted that some assailants wanted to kill his friend but the attempt didn’t claim his life.
He stated that 16 bullets had been removed from the victim’s body with three more remaining.
Onyia added that his friend, Nnadi, was rejected by hospitals in Nigeria. He, however, didn’t disclose the hospitals or their locations.
“16 extra bullets removed from his body and three remaining. They wanted to kill my friend Kene but God said no. All hospitals rejected him and asked for a police report before treating him.
“We managed to get one that attended to him until we flew him to London. Today, we thank God,” the tweet read.
Findings by our correspondent revealed that the victim, with full name, Fredrick Kenechi Nnadi, is a lawyer and a member of the Peoples Democratic Party who contested as a candidate for the Enugu North Constituency in the Enugu State House of Assembly in 2018.
In 2022, Nnadi, again, contested for the Enugu North and South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
