A middle aged man, Okechukwu Ogbonna has been arrested by the Ebonyi State Police command for allegedly beheading his 60-year-old father, Ogbonnaya Okereke over prophesies.
The Ebonyi Police Pubic Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP Sylvester Igbo, who confirmed the incident said it happened on Saturday at Isundiede village in Izzi Local Government Area of the state.
He stated that the body of the deceased had since been deposited at a mortuary, while investigations were on to identify the pastor behind the prophesy.
According to him: “when the suspect was arrested he said he took the action because of the prophesy he received from a pastor that his father was manipulating his destiny and that the reason he also committed the act was because his father did not show any interest in training him in school”.
Sources disclosed that as soon as the suspect returned from church, he headed straight towards his father and gave him several cuts in the head.
It was further gathered that the suspect before committing the dastardly act had accused his father of neither sending him to school nor showing any interest in his future.
The other version of the story held that the suspected murderer had been told from church that until his father dies, he would know no peace.
