𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐀𝐋𝐌𝐏𝐀𝐘 𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐀𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐊𝐀 This is Mr. Justin Azubike Owefu, popularly known as “Biggie,” a young husband, father, graduate of Delta State University, Abraka, and PalmPay agent covering Obiaruku, Abraka and Warri. According to accounts from his relatives and associates, Biggie was involved in a phone-financing arrangement where customers paid for phones in instalments. The phones could be remotely restricted when payments were overdue. The trouble allegedly began after Moses Okitikpi of Abraka obtained a phone valued at ₦185,000 through the arrangement, paid ₦30,000 initially and agreed to pay ₦11,000 weekly. It was alleged that Moses defaulted on several payments, after which the phone was restricted. Despite making some subsequent payments, he reportedly demanded that the phone be unlocked immediately. His guarantor, Onome Okitikpi, was also reportedly involved in the dispute. On September 10, 2026, at about 8:30 p.m., Biggie was allegedly confronted by Moses and Onome while he was on the road with his wife and 10-year-old daughter. They reportedly demanded that he unlock the phone immediately. Biggie allegedly explained that the unlocking process was not instant and could take up to three days. According to the account, the situation escalated. His phone and other belongings were allegedly taken from him. When Biggie reportedly tried to retrieve his phone, he was allegedly pushed, fell and hit his head on the tarred road. He suffered a serious head injury and reportedly went into a coma for three days. Doctors allegedly recommended emergency surgery estimated at about ₦10 million. Sadly, Biggie died on September 13, 2026. The matter was reportedly reported at Abraka Police Station on September 11. However, family and friends say they are concerned about the pace of the investigation and fear that the matter could be abandoned. We therefore call on the Nigeria Police Force, the Inspector-General of Police and the Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command, to urgently investigate the circumstances surrounding Biggie’s death. Anyone found culpable should face the law. A young husband, father, son and hardworking Nigerian has lost his life over a dispute that could have been resolved without violence.
