45-year-old man, Mr. Nwofu Igbo of Nwofe
community in Izzi Local Government Area of
Ebonyi State, weekend confessed to killing his
16-year-old son (name withheld) who returned
from Lagos State to celebrate Christmas with
members of the family.
Nwofu killed his son over
a squabble between him and the deceased
mother earlier before she was chased away by
his father (Nwofu) over an undisclosed reason.
It was also gathered that Nwofu had since
married another wife, who bore him five children
and took possession of all that belonged to the
dead woman.
An eyewitness, who said the deceased mother
was chased away from her matrimonial home 16
years ago, noted that the deceased decided to
return to his paternal home to enable him make
peace and reconcile with his father without
knowing that such venture would lead to his
untimely death.
It was gathered that by the time the deceased
returned and greeted his father (Nwofu) and
requested an apartment where he could drop his
luggages, Nwofu refused to welcome him, so he
decided to drop his luggages with one of his
friends where he equally passed the night.
Investigation revealed that the deceased went
back the following day to apologise and possibly
reconcile with the father, but Nwofu grudgingly
showed him one of the rooms, where the
deceased entered and as he was undressing, he
was hacked to death.
It was learned that the teen was busy
undressing, his father sneaked into the room with
a big iron and hit him on the head and dragged
his remains to the nearby road, where he
abandoned the coprse.
It was further learned that Nwofu after
committing the dastardly act, denied knowing
what happened to his son when the villagers
besieged his house, but it took the intervention
of one of his kids from the second wife, who
testified against him before the villagers and the
police, that he saw his father when he hit the
deceased with an iron on his head and dumped
his remains at a nearby road.
When contacted, the state police Public
Relations officer, Chris Anyanwu, who confirmed
the incident, said the case was being
investigated by the police.
