THE Imo
State Police Command has recovered the remains of a 78-year-old woman, Mrs.
Lucy Osigweh, who was declared missing in 2003.
Making the revelation, yesterday, state’s
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mohammed Katsina, disclosed that the woman’s
lifeless body was found in a large cupboard inside a shrine located in her
son’s private room.
Katsina said: “The missing woman’s lifeless
body was found in a village called Ezuru Umuagwu, Ejemekwuru, Oguta Local
Government Area of Imo State.”
According to him, “the corpse of the
78-year-old Mrs. Osigweh, earlier declared missing in 2003, was found in a
large cupboard inside a shrine of a private room in a circumstance depicting
ritual practice.
“The embalmed body, which was kept in that
condition for about 10 years, was believed to have been placed in the warehouse
by her son, Chief Chimezie Osigweh, a 64-year-old retired school principal.”
The Imo police boss said there was every
reason to believe that the late woman’s son is a member of a sect, adding:
“Preliminary assessment of the scene of crime revealed that the late woman must
have been murdered by her son for ritual purpose.”
Katsina also said members of the sect used
to hold secret nocturnal meetings in the place to enhance their occultic
powers.
“The principal suspect, Chief Chimezie
Osigweh, who is the son of the woman, has been arrested and is making useful
statement to the police,” the CP said.
Although Katsina did not say how the police
got wind of the crime, feelers from the late woman’s maiden home, Amakohia,
Awa, Oguta local council area, showed that they made the startling discovery.
A villager, who spoke on grounds of
anonymity, said that angered by the unresolved and inexplicable disappearance
of their relation from her marital home, some villagers decided to double check
earlier stories bandied by Osigweh.
According to a villager, “on getting to
Ejemekwuru, our people demanded to know why their relations had remained
missing for 10 years. Her son told our villagers that his mother was mad at a
point and ran away to unknown place.
“Apparently not satisfied with the
response, as well as the nonchalant attitude allegedly exhibited by her son,
the villagers went beserk, destroying things in sight and ended up spotting the
large cupboard containing the remains of their loved one.
“With this startling discovery, the
villagers quickly lodged a complaint with the police who subsequently swung
into action.”
