He was said to have disappeared during the lunch break at school last Thursday, October 20, the Punch learnt.
The father of the deceased identified as Mr. Rufus, as well as other villagers, raised alarm after his son failed to return from school at closure and a search party was organized to look for Ikenna, all to no avail.
Days after, Ikenna’s remains were discovered beside the headmaster’s office at his school.
