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
the Izzi Local Government Area of the state.
The
Police Public Relations Officer of the command, ASP Chris Anyanwu, told the News Agency of Nigeria in
Abakaliki that the matter was being investigated by the police.
“The
police are 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 the News Agency
of Nigeria on the condition of anonymity in Abakaliki that Igbo
killed the son due to a squabble between him (Igbo) and the deceased’s mother.
“The
suspect had, after a quarrel with his wife (mother of the deceased), chased her
out of his home for reasons best known to him,” he said.
