Nando Boils as Son, 52 years old, Christopher Okadigbo, kills 82 year old Mother, plucks her eyes, heart for rituals
The Anambra State Police command has arrested Mr Christopher
Okadigbo (52 years) for allegedly killing his mother, Mrs Roseline Okadigbo for
money ritual. He plucked her eyes and heart for rituals.
Okadigbo was arrested alongside his friend, Ameke Udolu,
over the act.
The left eye and the heart of the
deceased octogenarian were removed when her corpse was discovered in her
apartment at Nando, Anambra East area of Anambra State.
Chief Innocent Okadigbo, first son of the deceased, told
journalists on Wednesday at Nando that he suspects that his younger brother who
killed her had the motive of using her for ritual.
Innocent said his late mother reported to him on May 1, 2018
the suspicious move by Christopher Okadigbo his younger brother and his friend,
Udolu around her apartment on May 1, and that on May 2nd, she was discovered
dead in her apartment.
He said, “My mother told me on phone on May 1, 2018 that my
younger brother, Christopher came to her apartment with one Ameke Udolu and
were moving round 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 a pool of her blood’’, he
said.
He spoke further that, “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 Mina, Niger State from
where people at home broke the news to him.’’
Mr Pius Aniefule corroborated the account given by Innocent
Okadigbo, saying, “I raised alarm which attracted people in the neighbourhood
and later telephoned his first son Innocent on the gruesome killing of his
mother.
“As people rushed to the scene, we saw Ameke Udolu coming
out of one of the rooms of late Mrs Roseline Okadigbo’s room and we held him.
“We collected his phone and uncovered some incriminating
telephone communications between Udolu and Christopher the second son of the
deceased’’, he said.
“When we got the phone, we forced him to make a call to
Christopher and put it on speaker which Christopher did not know, then
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 beating up Udolu.
He said that it was the intervention of the
president-general of the community and the arrival of security personnel who
later arrested the duo that saved them from being lynched.
Chief Ignatius Aghadinuno, the President General of Nando
Community said at the time he got to the home of the deceased on May 2, 2018,
he saw the corpse of Roseline and aggrieved villagers, as well as Udolu.
“Because of the massive beating Udolu was subjected to, I
pleaded with the people and subsequently invited security operatives who later
arrested Udolu over the act,” he said.
He 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.
A senior police officer who led the team refused to speak
journalists, referring them to police headquarters, Awka.
The Police Public Relations Officer of Anambra command, Mrs
Nkeiru Nwode could not confirm the arrest as calls put to her mobile phone were
not answered.
