7 year old detain over alleged murder in Enugu - Mhiz Rebecca - 07-11-2016
Nwakaego, a single mother of five children, said the incident that
led to her son’s arrest and detention happened at a residence in
the Independence Layout area of Enugu, where she worked as a
housekeeper.
She explained that the owner of the property, Mr. Edwin Oforma,
gave her an accommodation in the house, adding that she lived
there with her children.
She said, “On May 29, while I was away at the Adoration
Ministry at Emene in Enugu, for the Sunday church service, my
boss’ son, Chukwunanu Oforma, a National Youth Service Corps
member, asked my son, Chibuike, and Chibuike’s 10-year-old
brother, Ifeanyichukwu, to tidy up a room belonging to his father.
“While Ifeanyichukwu swept the room, Chibuike laid the bed.
Chibuike found a gun near the bed where he was working, and
he took it to Ifeanyichukwu, who asked him to return it.
“It was while he was returning the gun that he mistakenly pulled
the trigger, releasing a bullet which struck Oluebube, who was in
the next compound, on the chest. He died on the spot.”
Nwakaego said Chukwunanu and his father, Edwin, had yet to
be seen since the incident happened.
She explained that she was called to return home from the
church over the incident, adding that on her return, policemen
from the New Haven Police Station, who removed the corpse,
took her and her children into custody.
