Man, 45, kills son in Ebonyi State

THE Ebonyi State police command, on Sunday, confirmed the arrest of a 45-year-old-man, Nwofu Igbo, who allegedly killed his son in Nwofe community in Izzi Local Government Area of the state.

The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Chris Anyanwu, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abakaliki that the matter was being investigated by the police.

“The police is prepared to get to the root of the problem that led to the killing of the boy,” Anyanwu said.

He added that the suspect had confessed to the killing of his 16-year-old son, who returned from Lagos to celebrate the Christmas with his family members.

An eyewitness told the NAN on condition of anonymity in Abakaliki that Igbo killed the son due to a squabble between him (Igbo) and the deceased’s mother.

“The suspect has, after a quarrel with his wife (mother of the deceased), banished her for reasons best known to him,” the eyewitness said.
