A Madonna University student has been arrested for allegedly killing own father

A 27-year-old undergraduate of Madonna University,
Okija, Anambra State, Chijioke Ezebuiro, was paraded
yesterday July 22nd by the Abia State Police Command
for allegedly killing his 87-year-old father, Dr. Emmanuel
Ezebuiro. This sad event comes barely three weeks after
21 year old Tolani Ajayi killed his 60 year old father
inside the Redeemed Christian Church of God
campground.
While parading Chijioke before newsmen, the state
Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Geoffrey Ogbonna
said Chijioke is the chief suspect in his father's death
because he was the only one around when the deceased
was brutally murdered on June 30th at his home in
Umuoriehi, Isingwu in Umuahia North LGA of Abia state.

According to his elder brother's statement to the police,
Chijioke had often threatened to kill their father. The
elder brother said he left their father and Chijioke at
home to drop off his children at school only to return to
find their father in the pool of his own blood. He
immediately called the police after Chijioke could not
explain what happened to their father.
Police preliminary reports shows that there was no
evidence of someone else gaining access into the home
when the octogenarian was murdered.
During his interrogation, Chijioke claimed he was having
his bath when his father was murdered.
"After taking my bath as I was going towards my room
I saw people screaming in my father's room, so I
decided to go inside to know what was happening
there. When I went there I saw my brother and my
cousin in my father's room and I saw my dad on top of
his bed. I was shocked to see blood on his head. I was
so scared I had to go down stairs to call one of my
cousins. When I came back with him we were asking
them what happened none of them told us anything.
He told us to go down stairs the next thing was for me
to see police coming to arrest me, took me to the police
station, saying I am a murderer, that's all." he said.
He denied ever threatening his life, maintaining they had
a good relationship.
