Police authorities in Brazil have identified and declared wanted a Nigerian gangster who allegedly killed his kinsman in Sao Paulo on August 22.

NewsmakersNG obtained a picture of the suspect, simply identified as Chike, sent to every Media House in Brazil and the Latin America, including Argentina with a promise of monetary compensation to whoever has information that would lead the police to him.

According to the Brazilian Investigation Bureau, Chike who stabbed his kinsman, Elochukwu, to death during a scuffle, is a member of a Nigerian cult group known as Eiye.

NewsmakersNG learnt that Chike displayed the emblem of the Eiye Cult immediately after driving a knife through the neck of his 48-year-old kinsman and father of four from Enugu State during an argument over a business transaction.

The incident occurred at the Galeria do Rock, a popular mall in Sao Paulo, where most Nigerians are having their business offices, shops and restaurants.

The investigation bureau also issued a warning through the Nigerian community leader asking all Nigerians plying their trade in Brazil to stay away from any form of cultism, “as this will not be tolerated in Brazil”.

The story of the killing was first reported by NewsmakersNG before the Brazilian media and others lashed into it.
