CEO of Educare narrates how his friend escaped death

The Chief Executive Officer of Educare – an online learning platform, Alex Onyia, has disclosed how his friend, Kene Nnadi, narrowly escaped death.

Onyia, known for sponsoring the tutorials of some candidates of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, shared the news via his X handle late Tuesday.

Tweeting as #winexviv, Onyia noted that some assailants wanted to kill his friend but the attempt didn’t claim his life.

He stated that 16 bullets had been removed from the victim’s body with three more remaining.

Onyia added that his friend, Nnadi, was rejected by hospitals in Nigeria. He, however, didn’t disclose the hospitals or their locations.

“16 extra bullets removed from his body and three remaining. They wanted to kill my friend Kene but God said no. All hospitals rejected him and asked for a police report before treating him.

“We managed to get one that attended to him until we flew him to London. Today, we thank God,” the tweet read.

Findings by our correspondent revealed that the victim, with full name, Fredrick Kenechi Nnadi, is a lawyer and a member of the Peoples Democratic Party who contested as a candidate for the Enugu North Constituency in the Enugu State House of Assembly in 2018.

In 2022, Nnadi, again, contested for the Enugu North and South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

However, some users on X.com, bemoaned the lack of care for human life at some Nigerian hospitals, while some were thankful that the lawyer cum politician was alive.

 Pqconnect eported in October 2023 that the Inspector-General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, directed the compulsory treatment of gunshot victims without police report.

This was in line with the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act 2017, according to the directive of the police boss.

However, the tweeps expressed dismay at how some hospitals have failed to comply with the police IG’s directive.
