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 Police Public Relations officer (PPRO) of
the command, ASP Chris Anyanwu, told 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 said 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 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.”
