A man, identified as Ogeoma Ogbonna, has beheaded his father, Azubuike Ogbonna, in the Umuomei community within the Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State.
Following this horrific act, Ogeoma buried his father’s severed head.
Neighbours were alerted to the crime and upon arriving at the compound, discovered the father’s body lying in a pool of blood.
Reports indicate that Ogeoma had been exhibiting signs of mental health issues and had frequently made threats of violence towards others. A local resident stated: “Ogeoma has been showing signs of mental illness. He was always threatening to harm people. But nobody in this community knew that he would get to the extent of cutting off his father’s head.
“We are still in shock at how he could kill his father. Before neighbours were called in to see what happened, he had already buried the head in a shallow grave in the compound. He took people and showed them the grave,” a native of the community.”
