A twenty-five-year-old man, Peter
Nkwuda, who hails from Ishieke village in the Ebonyi Local Government Area of
Ebonyi State, has been stabbed to death by his 50-year-old neighbour, Cyril
Oko.
The incident took place in
the deceased’s residence at Oroke Onuoha, Ebonyi Local Government Area of the
state on Monday.
It was gathered that
trouble started when the deceased raised the volume of his sound system to the
discomfort of his neighbours.
To stop him from further
causing public nuisance in the compound, the suspect was said to have asked
Peter to turn down the volume but he reportedly refused the request.
Thereafter, a heated
argument ensued between them and Oko from the Afikpo South Local Government
Area of the state was said to have angrily entered his room, brought out a
knife and allegedly stabbed his neighbour in the chest.
Peter was reported to have
slumped and died in the presence of other neighbours, who made frantic efforts
to stop the bleeding but to no avail.
The wife of the deceased
Mrs Chisom Nkwuda, reported the incident to the Kpiripkiri Police Station,
which dispatched operatives to the scene of the incident to arrest Oko.
