A 64-year-old man, William Ogbu, has been
murdered by his own son at Aji Community in
Igbo Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu
State.
The late William Ogbu had five grown-up children
including two sons and three daughters.

Ogbu was killed with an axe by his son, Johnson
Ogbu about three days ago and buried in a
shallow grave near a plantain farm near his
Umuidenyi residence.
Johnson was said to have been treated for
psychiatric problems but later regained his sanity
before becoming a shoemaker.
Sources said that the Umuidenyi clan in Aji were
celebrating their day, hence, Johnson’s mother
left her husband and son at home alone to attend
the event which took place at the Umuidenyi
Town Hall.
Johnson was said to have met his father inside
the house and used an axe to break his skull,
leading to his immediate death.
He later dragged his father’s body to the nearby
plantain plantation and dug the ground where he
buried the body.

It was alleged that Johnson’s mother who came
back later asked her son the whereabouts of his
father and was informed that the man was sick
and had gone to see a doctor without mentioning
any particular clinic where he had gone to seek
medical attention.
“We looked for him for three days, combing all
the hospitals around. It was when we failed to
locate him that we alerted the members of the
Aji Neighbourhood Watch Group, which in turn
alerted the police. The police arrived on Friday
morning alongside members of the
neighbourhood watch and later found a shallow
grave near the compound where William was
buried in a standing position.
“His head was broken while Johnson used
another sharp object to perforate his stomach
and other parts of his body,” a member of the
family who confirmed the report said.
Meanwhile, Johnson who was manacled was also
sighted at the Enugu Ezike Police Station at
about 1 pm on Friday.
