One Udochukwu Iwuoha, has been
stabbed to death by his landlord, Paul Oparaugo and five of his children who
are now on the run.
The incident took place on
Wednesday at No 50 Onumonu Street, Owerri, Imo state capital.
The deceased whose wedding was
scheduled for October 13 was stabbed repeatedly in several places.
According to Punch, trouble
started when Iwuoha confronted Paul who is a security guard at a branch of
Guaranty Trust Bank, to stop rearing chickens behind his apartment as the smell
and noise of the chickens were not good for his health.
The family, however, reacted
violently, beating him up before stabbing him.
An eyewitness identified as John
said Iwuoha was taken to several hospitals but he was rejected because of the
nature of the injuries.
“The hospitals demanded a police
report because the injuries were too much. Before we could get the report, he
died.
“We have reported the matter at
the Owerri Urban Police Station. Policemen came here, and his corpse was
deposited at a morgue.”
Confirming the incident, the
State Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike, said he had ordered that the case be
transferred to the homicide section of the Criminal and Investigation and
Intelligence Department of the state police command.
