THE Anambra State Police command has arrested one Christopher Okadigbo (52) suspected to be responsible for the murder of his mother, Mrs. Rosaline Okadigbo, 82, a widow at Nando in Anambra East local government area for alleged ritual purposes.

Also in police net was Mr. Ameke Udolu, who was said to be a friend of Christopher and an alleged accomplice. It was gathered that the left eye and the heart of the late octogenarian were removed when her corpse was seen in her house at Nando. First son of the deceased, Chief Innocent Okadigbo said yesterday at Nando that his younger brother was responsible for the dastardly act, adding that the motive was to use his late mother for ritual.

He said that his late mother, who was hale and hearty, reported the suspicious move of his brother and Ameke Ndolu to him on May 1, 2018, only for the woman to be found dead the following day.

He said: “My mother told me on telephone on May 1, 2018 that my younger brother, Christopher came to her apartment with one Ameke Udolu and were moving round and making comments that were highly suspicious. “My mother added that she was afraid of staying alone in her house due to the kind of utterances she overheard the duo make while moving round her apartment.

“In the early hours of May 2, 2018, less than 24 hours after my mother’s apprehensive telephone report to me, I received another call from one Pius Aniefule that my mother was found dead in the pool of her blood. “Minutes after Aniefule’s call, my brother, Christopher, who stopped relating with me since 1999, also called to inform me of the incident, claiming that he traveled to Minna, Niger State from where people at home broke the news to him.”

Corroborating the allegation, Aniefule said he raised an alarm, which attracted people in the neighbourhood and later telephoned his first son, Innocent on the gruesome killing of his mother. He said: “As people rushed to the scene, we saw Ameke Udolu coming out of one of the rooms of late Mrs. Rosaline Okadigbo’s house and we overpowered and held him. “We collected his phone and uncovered some incriminating telephone communications between Udolu and Christopher, the second son of the deceased.

“When we got the phone, we forced him to make a call to Christopher and put on the speaker, which Christopher did not know. It was then that Christopher told Udolu to hurry down to Nteje junction if he had accomplished the job and wait for him there.” He said, due to the revelation from the phone conversation between the two, the irate crowd started to beat up Udolu.

He said that it was the intervention of the President-General of the community and the arrival of security operatives, who later arrested the two suspects, that saved them from being lynched. Chief Ignatius Aghadinuno, the President General of Nando community said that at the time he got to the home of the deceased, he saw the corpse of Rosaline and aggrieved villagers, as well as Udolu.

According to him, because of the massive beating Udolu received from the people, he pleaded with the people to stop and subsequently invited security operatives, who later arrested Udolu over the act. The President-General said that Christopher was later caught hiding in the home of a native doctor very close to the community before he was handed over to police.

He appealed to the police to do a thorough investigation on the matter and ensure that the perpetrators of the heinous crime were brought to book. Younger brother of the deceased, Chief Uyammadu Anaeliaku alleged that Christopher had previously been identified with fetish activities and appealed to the state government to assist the family by compelling him to exhume the charms he allegedly buried around their compound.

He said: “My late sister Rosaline gave birth to eleven children and as we speak, only two are alive. The rest died under questionable circumstances.” A source at the police headquarters in Awka said the state police command was already on top of the situation.

Little wonder the Bible says that the heart of man is deceitful and desperately wicked, who can know it?!

What the love of money being the root of all evil can cause.

The UK have more health data on Buhari than any hospital in Nigeria?

This is a national disgrace.

When a president exposes his health records to foreign elements, how can we not assume it won't be used to promote the interest of the UK govt.

Cambridge Analytical?



I don’t even know why people don’t get it. While you’re struggling to gather money to start a business you like, a rich man’s kid would have started five different businesses if they want. Stop comparing a hardworking rich kid to someone that had to start from the scratch. It is even very easy for a rich kid to be motivated than a child from a poor background. One is waking up to opportunities, privilege and motivation everyday, the other is waking up to pressure and fear of being a failure and a disappointment.

I salute the Bastard mind,Or God don't give me such Wicked minded type of a son as my son.

Kai 52 ? I am dissapointed.

You murder your mother. #shame

Isn’t the whole point of getting rich is to take care of your parents. A fool at 40 is indeed a fool forever. Idiot bastard.

Eleyi gidigan oo

OKADIGBO!



I salute una Aba Jews ....No comment necessary

What a world! Oya let them roast the corps for him to eat.

Money money money.

Because of money/power this one kill him mama Mama wey suffer carry you for 9 months

Youth of these days work hard! Have contentment! For contentment brings peace of mind!

Stop comparing your children with others! You don't know the source of their wealth! Don't push your children into evil cause you might end up as a victim!

Parents give birth to the number of children you can cater for! DON'T give birth to that extra one that can easily get frustrated and kill you!

Work and train the little you have, bequeath them with an inheritance and they will forever honour you.

A word is enough for the wise

Rest in peace to the dead.

Too bad a deed
