After weeks of searching, the ex-footballer got information that one of his friends who duped him was sighted in a building in the city centre.
Anyabolu, invited the police who joined him to apprehend his criminal friends at the building where one of them was sighted. Ezenwa, was arrested in one of the top floors of the building. But while being taken to the police vehicle, a smart Ezenwa escaped and jumped through the window from the third floor.

But, Anyabolu and the policeman were not lucky as they landed badly on the hard concrete floor. The cop landed on his feet, breaking his sheen, Anyabolu landed with his head and died instantly.
