The Nigeria Police Command in Aba has begun a manhunt for the suspected killers of former Enyimba and Heartland winger, Christian Jacob, who was believed to be murdered on Wednesday night.
The Police spokesperson in the state, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna - who confirmed the killing of the ex-footballer - disclosed to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that he was gunned down outside his house on Umuola road, Ogbor Hill, Aba by suspected assassins.
A reliable source told NAN on Thursday that the former player had been out of the state for a while before returning to Aba some days ago, where he met his untimely death.
