Edem, Nsukka, Enugu State was on Saturday set
ablaze by one Sunday Ugwuoke of the same
community. The incident, which happened in the
early hours of morning has created much confusion and tension in the community. A
source who pleaded anonymity told Reporters
that the victim was ambushed around 5:30 a.m
when he came out to urinate.
According to him, "Ugwuoke on sighting Ezema,
poured petrol on him before setting him ablaze.
After the heinous act, he ran away and is still at
large till now".
He further revealed that the shouting of the
victim attracted sympathizers, who rushed him
to Chukwudi Hospital Nsukka, where he later
died.
Meanwhile, Ugwuoke was alleged to have told
some of his friends that he had warned the victim several times to stop having amorous
relationship with his mother.
Efforts by the press to get reactions from the
deceased's family proved abortive as they
declined comment.
When contacted, the Enugu State Police Public
Relation Officer, Ebere Amarizu, DSP, confirmed
the incident and said that police had started
investigations to unravel the circumstances
surrounding the incident.
"The matter has been reported to the police.
After investigations, those indicted will be
arrested and prosecuted."The body of the deceased has been deposited at the Bishop Shanahan Hospital Nsukka for post mortem examination", Amaraizu stated.
