Prof Ndubuisi, who is currently the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Scientific Equipment Development Initiative, SEDI, was murdered along the Enugu Port-Harcourt Expressway, very close to the centenary city.

An online video showed the bullet-ridden body of the SEDI boss, alongside his police orderly, with his official vehicle marked “SEDI 26D 02FG” ridden with bullets.
