The death of a popular Umuaka street figure known as Baseman has continued to generate conversations across the community, with reports surrounding his passing remaining unclear and controversial.
Information making the rounds suggests that Baseman may have been poisoned after he reportedly became a nuisance in parts of Umuaka, especially following incidents of unprovoked attacks around Afor Umuaka.
Some residents allege that poisoned food may have been given to him, though this claim has not been officially confirmed.
What is certain, according to multiple sources, is that Baseman’s body began to swell severely.
Lacking proper medical care and support, reportedly due to his mental condition as a mad man, his health deteriorated rapidly, leading to his death today.
It was further gathered that his family from Umuele took custody of his remains and buried him immediately.
Umuaka News24 extends condolences to his family and to all who knew him.
Baseman was widely recognized for his fearless presence, distinctive “commando-style” walk, and what many described as his gallant, celebrity-like status within the community.
He was a promising young man, mentally okay before he became mad a few years ago.
As questions linger, Umuaka News24 will continue to follow developments surrounding the circumstances of his death.
