Unidentified attackers killed three siblings in their Nnewichi, Nnewi, Anambra state, home, and then kept their bodies in a deep freezer
As tears fell in the Uga community in the Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State on Saturday, the bodies of three siblings who had been murdered by individuals who have not yet been identified in Nnewichi, which is located in the Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, were laid to rest.
In the presence of over thirty priests from various denominations, including royal fathers, local government chairmen, councillors, community members, and other mourners, the Archbishop of Ekwulobia Diocese, Cardinal Ebere Okpalaeke, presided over the burial mass that was held at St. Michael’s Catholic Church that is located in Umueze Uga, which is located in the Aguata Local Government Area.
The Archbishop said, “Killing has been there since the biblical origin and God gave punishment to Cain who killed his brother. When God asked Cain ‘Where is your brother, Abel’ Cain said, ‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’ And God pronounced punishment on Cain for killing his brother.
“In the same way, we condemn the killing of these children and we say anyone who has a hand in it will not know peace.”
The death of their children was described by the parents of the deceased, Mr. and Mrs. Udochukwu Ejezie, as an unfathomable nightmare and the worst shock of their lives.
They spoke with a deep emotional voice. They conveyed their appreciation for the immense support they had gotten from the state government, the Nigerian police, and the community as a whole, while simultaneously pressing the relevant authorities to increase their investigation efforts.
IREPORT247NEW reported on 3rd of February that three Siblings were Gruesomely killed and Kept in Freezer by unknown person.
Unidentified attackers killed three siblings in their Nnewichi, Nnewi, Anambra state, home, and then kept their bodies in a deep freezer.
On that fateful day, their mother, Mrs. Chikazor Ejezie, who is reportedly a lecturer and a nurse, left the house to take an exam, leaving behind their eldest sibling, a nine-year-old girl named Ejezie Chikaima Daviana, a second daughter named Ejezie Chimziterem Dominica, who was seven years old, and their only son, Ejezie Chimdilim David, who was five years old.
The mother found the front door of the home open when she got back from the exam, which was odd because the kids typically locked the doors when they went outside to play.
Mr. Ejezie Udochukwu, the father of the departed siblings, who resides in Irrua, Edo State, stated that he had to travel quickly to Nnewichi after receiving a call from his wife on Saturday, February 1, informing him of the incident.
He said, “When my wife got home, she didn’t see the children. She and others searched for them, even at the church where they served as altar boys and girls, but they weren’t there. My wife told me after searching for the kids by herself and a search party, without success, in despair the deep freezer was opened and behold, the dead bodies of the kids were there.”
“In the house, bungalow where we live with two tenants and the landlord, the kids were eating when the assailants stormed the house at about noon as there were traces of food in plates that were forcefully abandoned.
“The corpses of the kids have been deposited at a morgue and the police, CPS Nnewi, is where we reported the matter, and the police are investigating. You can see that I am completely devastated. My three kids killed same time by yet to be identified assailants.”
SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the state police public relations officer, confirmed the incident and stated that CP Nnaghe Itam, the commissioner of police, had ordered a thorough investigation.
The building where three siblings were brutally killed was sealed by the Anambra State Police Command.
SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said the building has been sealed but no one has been arrested yet.
However, investigations and conclusions regarding the incident’s likely cause are still being conducted. Police have opened an investigation.
He reassured the bereaved family that they are dedicated to finding the cause of the tragedy. As the inquiry develops, more information will be released.
