<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I decided to kill her because she did not allow the spirit of God to come into our family. Once she cursed anybody, that person will never progress and she was doing it to my brothers and sisters very often. I am the only one among her six children (two later died) that knew her secrets. My elder brother, who is 45 years old is yet to get married and nobody in our area agrees to marry any of my sisters or their daughters to marry any of us. When I confronted her by calling her ‘queen of the coast’, she tried to kill me, having known that I knew her secrets and that was why I decided to kill her first. I hit her on the head with a big stick at night and she slumped and died and I carried her in a wheelbarrow that night to the Obukwu bush in my community where I burnt her body to ashes.” he said.</span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">After killing his mother, Ekene fled to Aba in Abia state where he continued his business before he was traced and arrested by the police.

He says he regrets his actions but believes that people would one day see reason as to why he had to commit the hideous crime</span><blockquote class="tr_bq">

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Daily Sun gathered that about 10 persons sustained bullet wounds, following gunshots in the area.<br />Sources stated that the mayhem was induced by the decision of Ikenga Ogidi community to effect a Supreme Court judgement, which granted the community a portion of land that had been in dispute between Ikenga Ogidi and Umusioeme Nkpor.<br />Investigation by Daily Sun revealed that Umusiome community had sold a large portion of the land in question to individuals and groups, thereby complicating matters.<br />It was reliably gathered that those who purchased the land in the area joined the Umusiome community to resist the Ikenga villagers from taking over the land, apparently in order not to lose their buildings and the land they had purchased at high cost.<br />When Daily Sun visited the area, it was discovered that several buildings had been burnt, while many of the residents had vacated the area for fear of being attacked.<br />When contacted, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) for Ogidi Division, Mr. Isa Abubakar, confirmed the incident, saying the land dispute had been a major issue in the area.<br />He told journalists that his men had been deployed in the area in dispute to maintain peace.<br />The DPO appealed to the warring groups to give peace a chance, adding that the state police command was on top of the problem.</span></div>
