A community in Anambra state, Orumba North local government area, known as OKO community, today witnessed another horrifying incident, a story where two brothers allegedly beat their young nephew to death and buried him. the community elders gathered and instructed one of the culprits to exhume the corpse and carry it round the community.
some of the eyewitness, who saw as the event unfolded said that, the boy was beaten by the said uncle, who accused him of stealing, the uncle was also joined by some individuals around the place.
Another eyewitness said "So this boy's name is Chibuzor and he's an indigene of oko.
He did something that I did not know and they said they started looking for him. He's staying with his grandparents here because his mother was a single mother and she's dead, the grandmother is not mentally stable and his grandfather is not strong physically so they are not capable of taking care of him.
He knows that he's wanted and then went inside a lady's room inside that same compound that his grandparents stays and started staying there in hiding (the lady is a student and most students went home). The place the rooms are has only 4-5 rooms and all the students went home so he broke this lady's room and was staying there not until on Sunday that the owner of the room came back.
All her room was messed up and she saw cooked food which she obviously didn't leave by herself. He messed up the toilets too and didn't flush it.
That was eventually how he was caught and he ran again.
The girl didn't catch him because she was obviously shocked.
I don't think he ran out of the compound because he was found on Monday evening when he was trying to hide behind one plantain plantation.
He was caught and was beaten, this was on Monday night. I think one of his relatives was among those that flogged him.
The next morning which was on Tues they took him to best after finding him unresponsive and he was confirmed dead.
They looked for coffin and they were told 60k so they used plank to do one think that looked like coffin.
Some villagers came that evening and it didn't look serious, they told him not to Bury him but then during evening when people weren't around he (the relative I assumed uncle thatwas among those who beat him and took him to the hospital) buried Chibuzor himself.
It was this morning that the villagers came and told him to dig up the grave himself.
He did and this boy was still looking like who just fainted.
He(the assumed uncle) was told to carry him on his head with omu(palmfront) and take him round eke oko but when he reached the junction both him and the corpse fell down.
I didn't witness what happened later but he was taken somewhere with the boy inside keke.
The night they were beating him he said he's 16yrs.
They didn't see the other 2 guys as at this morning. Only the relative"
