Before we deliver goods, we will get money first- Jumia representative speaks on death of delivery man
Following the death of a Jumia delivery man who was killed after he went to deliver two iPhones in Port Harcourt, Mr Naze Paul, a representative of the online brand has spoken up and has revealed the new condition that would be attached to their delivery services.
The deceased, Mr Chukwuma Eleje, was said to have gone to deliver the phones and a motorcycle when he met his doom. He was meant to deliver the goods to two men and a woman along Ada George Area in Port Harcourt.
The Jumia representative revealed that the delivery man was beaten to a pulp before he was shot dead and dumped in a soakaway pit. The deceased was declared missing on Saturday, March 25; it was then that the police started searching for him and discovered his body in a septic tank within the compound where the delivery was made.

Paul was embittered while giving update about the death of the poor man. Late Eleje was said to have been a good worker. According to the rep, the terrible incident occurred because of the delivery policy used by the brand.
“Instead of them to say they don’t have money for the items, they cornered and killed him.
“I believe they are cult members. Now, before we deliver goods we will get money first.
“If we don’t get paid first, we will not deliver. What caused this nonsense is that we deliver before getting paid. The agent they killed was a good worker.” he stated.
Payment was often done on delivery; to this ugly incident, they have set a new condition for delivering goods as the representative said they would get fully paid before they deliver goods henceforth.
