The decapitated remains of the brothers were found
around Elekahia Housing Estate in Port Harcourt by
operatives of the State Police Command, Tuesday.
Vanguard gathered that the brothers had picked a taxi
from Rumuokparali, Monday evening, before their
remains were found the next day.
A youth leader in the community, Mr. Pamoses Omah, told
Vanguard that the news of the incident caused uproar and
wailing in the community.
Omah narrated that the Police got Ifeanyi’s identity card
and used it to trace his next of kin to the company where
he (Ifeanyi) acquired a skill in pipeline welding, from
where their relations were contacted.
He said: “They are the two sons of late Chief Oliver Wobo.
There is serious wailing in Rumuokparali right now
because what happened is strange.
“Nobody knows what must have happened, but their
corpses were found around Elekahia Housing Estate.
They left home on Monday evening.
“The Police found Ifeanyi’s wallet, with which they traced
the company where he acquired his pipeline welding skill.
They obtained the phone number of his next of kin and
called. Their mother is still unconscious since the news
broke on Tuesday evening.”
The Public Relations Officer of the state’s Police
Command, DSP Nnamdi Omoni, confirmed the
development and noted that Police have commenced
investigation.
Omoni said: “Yes, we are aware and efforts are on to
unravel the circumstances that led to their death.”
