A man identified as Nwalozie Chiwendu is now on the run after killing his brother, Chidiebere Isaiah, of the same compound in Ofeh community in Omuma Local Government Area of Rivers State. It was gathered that the incident occurred at about 4pm on Thursday after the suspect accused his brother of witchcraft and being behind his stagnation in life. “The story is that the younger one took cutlass, butchered his elder brother like meat before people who were around came to hold him. The community is searching for him everywhere to get him to face the full wrath of the law,” he added. We have done all of that and we are still talking with critical stakeholders of the community.
