While narrating the incident, Bright’s younger brother said, that Bright, his fiancée, the best man and one of the bride’s maid were heading to the community where the marriage was supposed to hold, however, Bright met his waterloo on the way.
They were riding on a motorcycle; while Bright rode on one, carrying one of the bride’s maid, his best man carried the bride on a different motorcycle, but they were ahead of Bright after he stopped to get fuel at Ezego junction in Ihiala.
When the best man and Bright’s bride arrived their destination, they soon discovered Bright was not following them, they called him, but his line was unreachable, so the best man rode back to check on him, where he met the lifeless body of Bright ensanguined on the road.
An eye witness confirmed that the culprits also rode on a bike. They cornered Bright and pointed a gun towards him. After taking everything from him, which included his phone and a food flask, they shot him dead amid his pleas to be spared his life, and drove off.
“They took all his items and still killed him,” the witness said. “Bright was a kind person who would readily give you his food for peace to reign. These hoodlums took everything from him, including the food in a flask they were going to eat that night.
“Even when Bright pleaded with them to let him live, as he was about to wed, they shot him dead, denying him the joy of being a husband and a happy man.”
