Description

A middle aged man (Emma Oji) has been reportedly murdered at Alayi Community Village in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State for alleged committing adultery with a married woman in the area.

According to eye an witness account who said that the woman had informed her husband of her brief visit to her parental home but only to be sighted in another man’s house closed to the community a couple of days after.

The youths of the area who regarded the incident as an abomination invaded the man’s house and whisked him away for punishment.

The man was later found dead while the woman was said to have fled to unknown destination.



However, the man’s death did not go down-well with his relatives and close friends who felt the tradition only permits some level of punishment to anyone found in the act but not murder.

The disagreement resulted in the deceased kinsmen invading the resident of one of the youths suspected to have spear-headed the whisking away of the deceased man and burnt down his house including motor and other personal belonging.
