Member representing Khana Constituency 2 in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Prince Ngbor Piccolo, has refuted claims of having any biological relationship with Wisdom Nwiyaara, the alleged killer of Derrick Ozondu, a final year student of the Rivers State University(RSU).
Nwiyaara, a 300 level Architectural Science student of same institution was arrested by the police while attempting to escape after allegedly killing Ozondu. Reports claimed that he is related to Hon. Prince Ngbor.
However, in a statement signed by Marvin Kpea-ue, the Special Assistant to Hon. Piccolo, the lawmaker categorically stated that he was neither the father, step father, grandfather, cousin or uncle of the accused.
“We received the unfortunate and regrettable news of the death of Mr. Ozondu Derrick, a final year student of Management Department in Rivers State university on Thursday the 19th day of August, 2021 with rude shock and an agonising pain within our hearts and feelings,” the statement read.
We, therefore write with a deeper feeling of commiseration, to condole with the bereaved family and the University Community, and to encourage them to take heart at a time like this when their faith and emotions are put to serious threat and trial, through the death of their beloved son and the fact as stated by the State Police PRO, ACP Nnamdi Omoni that the deceased was in possession of firearm (gun) when a search was conducted on him after the incidence.
