I'm not a defender of Saudi Arabia but besides him being born there how is it relevant? He does business in Africa and was educated in and lives in the US. Is there any indication he was a anti-Saudi activist? I don't see any so why should that be brought up at all?

I haven't found any indication that he said anything against the Saudi regime. I brought it up because he appears to have been executed according to a professional (if bungled) plan reminiscent of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by the Saudi state. I think it merits contemplation any time anyone with Saudi connections is professionally murdered and dismembered.

What? You guys got hysterical and blamed the Saudis based on no facts and you were completely wrong? Who would of guessed? Oh wait, I did.

Please don't bad mouth Nigeria. This case is not yet fully understood and we can't make any conclusions yet.

My intention is not to bad mouth Nigeria - I did, quite literally, say that it's entirely speculation and that the case might very well have nothing whatsoever to do with the country (and even if it involves Gokada, the aggrieved party is not necessarily Nigerian). Regarding infrastructure, my point is that it's far easier for someone to disappear from the eye of law enforcement here than in many other countries.

He was followed by a man he did not invite to his apartment, doesn’t look like he knew his killer

I think they meant sex with the wrong person, not the killer.

Jilted lover etc

Because what got him killed may have been related to his leadership position at a startup he founded... so definitely a word of caution for tech founders that read HN in similar local political fights.

So much for your political fight in the startup community. What a fucking bunch of speculating wankers

I never claimed that was the cause, only to explain why it piques the interest of those in the HN community due to probable causes. Nevertheless, we still shouldn't jump to any allegations based on allegations.
