In pursuance of that, the Divisional Police Office in charge of Obowo division led a team of policemen to Umuakpa Umungwa community in Obowo LGA and met the lifeless body of Elijah Nwagbara in the pool of his blood. The diseased was allegedly murdered by his half brother, Chibuzor Nwagbara who absconded after committing the crime.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that both brothers had been involved in a lingering battle over their family land, as a result, Chibuzor picked up a knife and stabbed him to death while he was lying down absent-mindedly. “Consequent upon that, some irate youths in the area invaded the house of the suspect and set it ablaze.”
