Mr.
Onyije Nelson has fled Ekuku-Agbor Community, his home town in Ika
South Local Government Area of Delta State, following the mysterious
death of his Uncle, Onyije Uche who before his death had a
misunderstanding between his father late Mr. Onyije Philip Fred.
Explaining
the circumstances surrounding Mr. Nelson's disappearance, a close
friend of the family who pleaded anonymity, noted that the crisis began
after the demise of Mr. Onyije Uche, Nelson's uncle.
His
late grandfather had a piece of land before his death which
legitimately belonged to his first son, Mr. Onyije Philip Fred, Nelson’s
father. A twist however arose owing to the death of Nelson's father in
November, 2015 followed by the death of his uncle Mr. Onyije Uche, a
year later. After his death, his uncle’s children accused him of killing
their father so as to inherit the piece of land which was left behind
by their grandfather.
To this effect, it was
gathered that his uncle’s children threatened him, saying that their
father dying a year after his own father’s death was orchestrated by
him.
According to our source, Mr. Nelson's
mother, Mrs. Onyije Obi and siblings were forced out of their father’s
house due to the gravity of the threat, thereby, involving the police.
According
to a close friend of the family, Nelson's family has fled the community
to avoid being slain by his uncle’s children since November 30, 2016
after many fights and treats by his late uncle’s children.
At the time of filing this report, the whereabouts of Mr. Onyije Nelson is still unknown to the uncle’s children.
