VIDEO: Suspects trade blame over “murder” of Jumia delivery man
The three suspects arrested in connection with the death of a Jumia delivery man have confessed to the crime.
The delivery man had disappeared on Saturday after he went to deliver two iPhones at a house on Ada George Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
His dead body was discovered inside a septic tank in the compound days later.
The suspects, Naabe and Mbatumukeke, were arrested after neighbours reported unusual movements in the compound.
In a confessional video following their arrest, Naabe, who claimed to be on a visit, said he saw Mbatumukeke pushing the deceased into the septic tank.

“On my way to this place, I saw him (Mbatumukeke); he was packaging something like a black waste bin. He was saying I should just go inside and chill out. He said he would soon join me in the room,” he said.
“I overheard some neighbours asking him what he was doing close to the septic tank and he gave them an excuse. I went inside and saw bloodstains in the bathroom.
“When I queried him, he brought out a gun and pointed it at me, saying if I uttered a word about what I saw, he would kill all my family members.”
Mbatumukeke, however, claimed that Naabe killed the victim, adding that he hit the courier man with an iron on the head.
