The police had earlier described the businessman as a foreigner due to him being part of a group of visitors at an apartment located in the area during the Saturday occurrence.
According to the security guard, Obia and two of his friends had ignored the instructions given to them to park at the visitor’s parking space.
“They came and I showed them a parking spot for visitors but they refused and parked at a tenants’ spot. They said that they will not stay for long and they will be back in a few minutes,”
The situation went from bad to worse when Obia and his colleague came back and found their vehicle had been blocked by that belonging to a tenant.
The guard however refused to call the tenant to move the vehicle and another argument ensued leading to Obia brandishing his gun threatening to kill him.
