Okwudili and his accomplice barged into the home of the the victims and hacked them to death on Saturday.
A young apprentice,
Okwudili Okoro, has explained why he murdered his master, Azubuike Okoro and
his wife, Jacinta, when the couple were having their meal.
They pulled out two
cutlasses hidden underneath their wears and hacked the victims to death.
Okwudili said he decided to
kill his brother and wife because the man refused to settle him after
completing his three years apprenticeship.
The attackers fled the
scene after the incident but Okwudili
was arrested after one Joseph Nwagu reported the matter at Sango Police
Station.
The Police Public Relations
Officer in Ogun State, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed this in a statement,
said the suspect claimed he killed his master for not settling him after
serving for three years.
Oyeyemi said: “Upon his
report, the DPO Sango Division, SP Nasirudeen Oyedele, led detectives to the
scene where the suspect was arrested but his accomplice escaped.
“On interrogation, the
Ebonyi State born suspect claimed to have served his deceased elder brother for
good three years, and when it was time for him to be settled, his brother kept
on posting him from time to time.
“He stated that when he
realized that his brother is not ready to settle him, he contracted one Kenneth
who is now on the run and they both bought two cutlasses, sharpened it to the
edges and headed to his deceased elder brother’s house in Ijako.
“On getting there, they met
the deceased eating with his wife and before he could utter a word, they descended
heavily on them with the sharp cutlasses and hacked them to death.
“The two corpses have been
taken to the general hospital Otta mortuary for post mortem examination.
“The Commissioner of
Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, has directed that the suspect be transferred to the
Homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence
Department for discreet investigation.”
