Ex-classmate reminisces on friendship with Fish Magnet
He noted that the deceased, who was the school's social prefect, was one of his few extroverted friends who 'adopted him as an introvert.' He knew him as Martins and not Fish Magnet at the time.
Daniel, who attached his chat with old Fish Magnet, said they had plans to further their studies at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (popularly known as UNIZIK), but weren't able to keep in touch closely after school.
He explained that the screenshotted chat between him and Fish Magnet was when the deceased informed him of his family's relocation from Kaduna to Awka, the capital of Anambra, where he was found dead on Sunday, July 27.
He prayed that those behind the businessman's death would face the wrath of God, expressing belief that he is in a better place. Daniel's post read:
"I never knew him as "Fish Magnet", Martins was my close friend, class mate and seatmate back then in senior secondary school, Lapan Kaduna. He was one of the few extroverted friends that adopted me as an introvert.
"We had plans of both going to Unizik to further our studies, but somehow we weren't able to maintain close contact after school as everyone got busy and went through different path.
"The screenshot below was when he informed of his family relocation from Kaduna to Awka, and few years later, only for me to hear of his cruel death in that same city.
"Martins I'm so proud of the Man you became.
"Looking at how far you went and grew gives me a mixed feeling I can't explain.
"Those behind your demise would experience the wrath of God. I believe you are in a better place.
"Goodnight our social prefect , Martkid 🥹🕊️ .
"Martin Onyekesi."
