ENUGU — The Commissioner of Police, CP Abubakar Lawal, fdc, has ordered the State CID Enugu to conduct a thorough and conclusive investigation of the death of Master Chimdalu Chidi, a 7 years old boy mindlessly killed and buried by his father and a ninety-five years old accomplice.
The CP stated in the police bulletin signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Ndukwe that no stone will be left unturned as everyone who is linked to the horrendous demise of the minor will be prosecuted.
Mr. Chidi Onyishi, a tricycle driver residing at 25 Taylor Avenue, Coal Camp Enugu reported a case of missing person to the Police on the 22nd of October, 2021.
Onyishi who is the father of six children in his report stated that one of his sons Chimdalu Chidi was missing hence the Police Operatives attached to the Central Police Station (CPS) of Enugu State Command, swung into action.
Following the receipt of credible information, the Police operatives arrested Onyishi aged 36 (male) on the 6th of November, 2021 for allegedly being responsible for the disappearance and murder of his son for money ritual.
Preliminary investigation reveals that he confessed to the crime and led Police Operatives to the arrest of one Pastor Okeke Eneokwor aged 95 (male), who is said to be blind and of Dental Avenue, Trans-Ekulu, Enugu whom he fingered as an accomplice.
Onyishi also led Police Operatives and medical teams to a stream in Abakpa-Nike, Enugu, where the decomposing corpse of the minor was exhumed from a shallow grave, after he and cohorts murdered and buried the child on the 20th of October, 2021.
Meanwhile, the Enugu State Governor has visited the distraught mother of the deceased and her other five children at their home in Coal Camp, a suburb of Enugu city.
