A 22-year-old Nigerian man Ofon Phillip Idiong has been arrested for killing his friend and age mate Brian Njoku.

Brian was reportedly owing Ofon $40 (N15,000) and had been trying to pay via an online banking platform but wasn’t successful because the money kept reversing into his account.

Last week Monday (September 7th, 2020)  Ofon picked up Brian and they went to a mutual friend’s house at 8811 Gustine Lane, to watch a basketball match.

Ofon reportedly asked Brian for his money and hell broke loose as Brian tried explaining the challenges he was facing. An argument ensued and Ofon pulled out a gun and shot him.

According to City of Houston News, Houston Police Department patrol officers responded to a call at the crime scene and found Brian bleeding from gunshot wounds.

They administered first aid and rushed him to Memorial Hermann Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Ofon initially fled the scene but returned and was interviewed by Houston police. He was subsequently charged for his role in Njoku’s death.

The Houston Police Department wrote in a statement posted on its website:
