Father of four set ablaze by neighbour

A father of four, Mr. Sylvester Ezema, of Akpa Edem, Nsukka, Enugu State, was on Sunday set ablaze by his neighbour, Sunday Ugwuoke.

The incident occurred in the early hours of the day and created much confusion and tension in the community.

A member of the community, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the victim was ambushed on his premises about 5.30am when he came out to urinate.

He said, “Ugwuoke, on sighting Ezema, poured petrol on him before setting him ablaze. After the heinous act, he ran away and is still at large.”

The source stated that the scream of the victim attracted other residents, who put out the fire and later rushed Ezema to Chukwudi Hospital, Nsukka, where he later died.

Ugwuoke was alleged to have earlier told some of his friends that he had warned the victim many times to stop what he called “a suspicious relationship” with his mother.

However, efforts by Punch correspondent to get reactions from the deceased’s family proved abortive as they declined comment.

The Enugu State Police Public Relations Officer, Ebere Amarizu, confirmed the incident and said the police had started investigations to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The PPRO said, “The matter has been reported to the police. After investigations, those indicted will be arrested and prosecuted.

“The body of the deceased has been deposited at the Bishop Shanahan Hospital, Nsukka for postmortem examination.”

Human heads discovery: ‘My husband was set up’

Mrs. Nkiru Mokwe, the wife of the owner of Upper Class Hotel, Onitsha, where human heads were recovered by security agents on Thursday has appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan and Senate President David Mark to save the life of her husband.

She insisted that her husband, Bonaventure Mokwe, was set up.

Bonaventure was arrested along with 10 other people in connection with the recovery of the two human heads in the hotel.

The hotel was on Friday demolished on the orders of Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State.

Nkiru said the life of her husband was in danger and urged the President and the Senate President to come to their rescue before it was too late.

Nkiru, a lawyer, who spoke to reporters in Onitsha on Saturday, said the whole story was a set up, adding that her husband’s enemies were in a hurry to destroy him and his business.

“My husband is being detained in a very dehumanising condition at SARS, Awkuzu, and the police have denied him access to his lawyer and relations.

“My husband’s hotel at No 8, Old Market Road, Onitsha which he inherited from his father, Chief G.C Mokwe, has been demolished,” she said.

She alleged also that the government threatened to demolish his plaza at Ose-Okwodu and other properties belonging to him and his family and confiscate all his assets.

She wondered why the police in Anambra state did not act on the matter until Inspector General’s office send men to the hotel based on a petition written on July 2, 2013.

She claimed that the human heads might have been planted by people who were bent on nailing her husband and draw attention from the main issues in contention.

She said her husband dealt in lands and real estate and there were lots of conflicts over ownership of lands between him and some persons which led to the shooting of her husband on March 9, 2009.

Nkiru said about four of the disputes were pending in court and wondered why the masterminds of her husband wrote a petition to the Inspector General of Police alleging that her husband stored human heads and arms in his hotel.

She further alleged that the masterminds of her husband’s arrest got approval of their petition and smuggled in two rusty objects which the police claimed were human skulls and arms into one of the commercial rooms in the hotel on or before the arrival of the police.

She prayed that her husband be charged to court or granted bail.
