A shocking incident has left Okigwe Road roundabout residents in serious trouble after a man slumped and died while having a heated argument with his friend.
 
 The deceased was said to be a block moulder and hailed from one of the communities in Ngor Okpala local council area of Imo State.
 
An eyewitness said: “From the way the argument flowed, they obviously had a transaction that probably went sour. There were no exchange of blows and I can’t remember hearing any of them threatening the other, but one of them slumped and died”, the man recounted with shock.
 
Vanguard reports that some sympathisers rushed him to the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, where he was confirmed dead on arrival. However, it was also gathered that the dead man’s friend, who was identified as Dozie Eze, from Orodo, Mbaitoli local government area of the state, is said to be answering a few questions at the State Police Headquarters, Owerri.
 
The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Andrew Enwerem, confirmed the incident and said, “Yes, such a thing happened. However the report available to me is that somebody slumped and later died”, Enwerem said.
 
But he denied claims that anybody was detained as a result of the matter.
