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.
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.
