In Nigeria, A man in Awka, the Anambra State capital,
has allegedly killed his only son, Chibuzor, for
planning to marry an older woman.
It was alleged that the man, whose name had
yet to be identified, procured the services of
some military men to execute the act.
A witness told our correspondent that the
suspected soldiers beat the victim to a coma.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he
gave up the ghost.
Trouble began when the late Chibuzor brought
home his fiancée.
A source told PUNCH Metro that the victim
had an altercation with his father as the latter
opposed the union.
The source said, “The father had rejected the
choice of the woman Chibuzor brought home,
saying the lady was older than his son.
“Chibuzor, who had had a failed marriage that
produced a child, decided to remarry after
separating from the first wife. He was
disappointed when the father refused to
approve the marriage.
“When the rift between him and his father
escalated, the father invited some soldiers.
The action annoyed Chibuzor, and he poured
hot water on his father.”
The soldiers were reported to have beaten
Chibuzor to a pulp. He was rushed to the
hospital where he later died.
The incident, which happened on Saturday in
Umuayom village, Awka, triggered off a protest
by the youths of the community.
The Anambra State Police Public Relations
Officer, Nkeiru Nwode, who confirmed the
incident, said the “wife-to-be has been given
police protection.”
