The body of a security guard, identified as Uche, was discovered inside a diesel tank at a telecommunications facility in the Rumaholu community of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area in Rivers State.
It was reported that Uche fell into the tank last Saturday night, and his body was found on Monday, September 23, 2024.
According to Punch, residents of the area last saw Uche on Saturday and began searching for him, only to find his lifeless remains on Monday morning.
It was alleged that Uche was attempting to steal the diesel from the tank and accidentally slipped, resulting in his death.
A resident shared with reporters in Port Harcourt on Tuesday that they discovered the victim’s slippers near the diesel tank, and the gate of the facility he was guarding was left open, prompting them to investigate the tank where his body was later found.
“When I came to the shop this morning, a brother of the landlord told me that this man (the deceased) was trying to steal diesel from the place on Saturday night,” a resident said.
“And along the line, they don’t know how it happened and he fell inside the tank. When they didn’t see him throughout Sunday, they started searching for him and came to the place where he worked.
“They discovered that the protector was open and their security house was also open. They saw the clothes that he removed and his slippers. They also saw that the diesel tank was open and that he fell inside.”
