An
elderly man identified as Mr. Daniel Emeke was on Friday, 15th March,
2017 allegedly murdered by Friday Peter, his nephew at Ekuku-Agbor
community in Ika South Local Government Area, Delta State during an
incident that could be described as uncalled for.
An
eye witness who spoke to newsmen on the condition of anonymity,
disclosed that the alleged murderer, Friday Peter, who is a Secondary
School boy, was in the kitchen preparing food while his mother Mrs.
Friday was in the bathroom bathing on the early hours of Friday, March
15, 2017 when his uncle entered into the resident of Mr. Daniel Friday,
the late father of peter Friday in an unusual manner.
The
Eye witness further said that immediately the victim, Mr. Daniel Emeke
entered into the compound, he began to shout the name of Mrs. Friday who
was quietly taking her bath in the bathroom. He continued in this
manner until quarrel ensued between the both of them. The source said
that an unusual scene was created when the man made his way into the
bathroom and dragged her out of the bathroom naked. Continuing, the eye
witness further disclosed that as the fight continued between the two of
them, Friday Peter piqued by the ugly incidence, carried a pestle in
the kitchen and hit the man in an attempt to stop the man from
assaulting his mother and the elderly man fell on the floor and was
immediately rushed to nearby hospital where he died. On noticing his
death, Peter ran for his dear life and no one knows where he is till
today.
On hearing this, the community leaders
reported to the security operatives and peter has been declared wanted
by the policemen. The policemen have ever since doubled effort in search
of this young boy. The policemen have even promised a handsome reward
for anyone that has any useful information on his where about.
It
was gathered that prior to the death of Mr. Daniel the family had been
having problem over who should be in possession of the documents of the
properties of late Mr. Daniel Friday, the father of FridayPeter
The
source further revealed that the problem started when Peter’s father
died. The victim, Mr. Daniel had come on several occasions to assume the
properties of his late brother, Mr. Daniel Friday claiming that Peter,
the only son of Mr. Daniel Friday was not old enough to be in
possession of the vita documents.
Concluding,
the source pointed out that Mr. Daniel Emeke had taken the case to the
Council of Elders in Ekuku-Agbor on which the Council of Elders resolved
that the documents should be given to Mr.Daniel Emeke but the children
of late Mr. Daniel had since then rejected the verdict of the Council of
Elders.
