An angry father, Nicholas Anamene,
was said to have shot and killed his
son, Ugochukwu Anamene, during a
family brawl.
Chief Anamene, a polygamist with 10
wives allegedly killed his son in the family compound at Ezieke Umuolhi
Okija, Ihiala Local Government Area of
Anambra State, at about 8.30 pm.
Sympathisers were reported to have
gathered last weekend at Chief
Anamene’s compound to witness the burial of the murdered Ugochukwu
Anamene.
Nigerian Tribune reports: Ugochukwu, before he was
allegedly shot by his father with
a pump action gun, was a JS2
dropout but had started
learning motorcycle spare
parts trade. His polygamous father with 10
wives, who claimed that he shot
him mistakenly, claimed that on
the particular day, “I mistakenly
shot at my son around 8.30 p.m.
and fainted when I discovered I shot him to death.”
Chief Nichola who spoke to
journalists at the court premises
in Ihiala, where he was
immediately charged for murder,
did not however, tell newsmen who exactly he had wanted to
shoot before he mistakenly shot
his son.
The court was told that there
was a quarrel between Chief
Nichola and one of his wives Ngozi Anamene, who he had
planned to kill at 8.30 p.m; but
that on sighting somebody
entering the compound, who had
thought was his wife Ngozi, he
opened fire on his son who slumped and died.
Chief Nicholas has been
transferred to Onitsha Federal
Prisons where he is being
reminded while the case has
been adjoined to 22nd January, 2014
