Another Nigerian Cab Driver Brutally Killed In New York By Passenger

        
A Nigerian cab driver has been savagely killed in New York after a passenger stabbed him through the eye with an umbrella, piercing his brain, during a dispute.

Police say the mortally wounded man, identified as 54-year-old Orji-Ama Uro, of Rosedale, Queens, continued driving for about a block before crashing into two parked cars in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn Thursday.

Uro was rushed to Brookdale Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
According to the victim's family, Uro was a father of five who emigrated to the U.S. from Nigeria 10 years ago in pursuit of the American dream, which for him was opening his own shore store.

                 
Chinedoum Agwu, Uro's sister-in-law, told DNAInfo.com that the 54-year-old cab driver leaves behind two sons and three daughters between the ages of 16 and 23.

She described her slain brother-in-law as a very hardworking and responsible man who regularly attended services at a Jehovah's Witness church.

Agwu, who was supposed to host a Father's Day dinner for Uro and other relatives this Sunday, now has nothing left to do but weep for her brother-in-law and wonder why would anyone hurt him.
