The sister of Toochukwu, popularly known as Tobbit, has spoken out following her brother’s controversial death, alleging that he was tortured to death by his boss and demanding justice for the deceased.
The tragic incident has sparked public outrage following reports that Toochukwu died after allegedly being assaulted by officers of Udo Ga Chi in Nnewi, Anambra State.
According to reports, his boss, who owns the popular Visa Oil, allegedly handed him over to the officers following a disagreement involving missing goods and money.
In an emotional account, Toochukwu’s sister insisted that her brother was innocent and did not deserve the alleged treatment that led to his death. She also accused his boss of attempting to mislead the public about the circumstances surrounding the incident.
She claimed that some bloggers were allegedly paid to circulate reports suggesting that Toochukwu died from low blood pressure rather than from injuries sustained during the alleged assault.
Recounting how she learnt about her brother’s death, she said she fainted after stumbling upon the heartbreaking news on TikTok.
She further expressed anger that nobody from the people involved reportedly contacted their family to officially inform them about his death.
The grieving sister also shared details about her brother’s background, revealing that he was the first son of the family.
According to her, following their father’s death, the family struggled financially and could no longer afford to sponsor his education. Consequently, Toochukwu began serving his mother’s cousin, who was his boss, as an apprentice, popularly known as a Nwa Boi, at the age of 16.
His sister is now demanding a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death, insisting that everyone involved must be held accountable if found culpable.
The incident has continued to generate reactions, with many Nigerians calling for justice and a transparent investigation into the allegations.
