Chinalu Ogbonna, aged 27, has been arrested by the police in Umuahia, Abia State, for the murder of his father. Suspected of involvement in 'Yahoo Plus,' Chinalu reportedly strangled his 57-year-old father, Mmaduka Ogbonna, at their residence on Umueze Road, Umuahia. He then proceeded to remove his father's left eye, allegedly intending to use it for money rituals.

The spokesperson for the Abia State Police Command, ASP Maureen Chinaka, confirmed the tragic incident to journalists. She stated that a murder case involving Mmaduka Ogbonna was reported at the Central Police Station (CPS) on Monday around 8:00 a.m.

Chinaka explained, "Detectives from CPS Umuahia visited the crime scene and found the deceased’s lifeless body with his left eye gouged out. The suspect, Chinalu Ogbonna, a 27-year-old male residing with his father at Umueze Road, opposite Junior Girls Secondary School Amuzukwu Ibeku, has been apprehended."

Investigations revealed that Chinalu allegedly strangled his father to death with the intention of using his left eye for money rituals. The deceased's body has been deposited at the morgue for autopsy, and relevant exhibits have been recovered.

"The case is currently under investigation and will be charged to court," added the police PPRO.

This disturbing incident follows another recent case in Umunneochi LGA, where a man named Marcel Udeh allegedly killed his son for eating the last portion of food in their kitchen without permission. Udeh has also been arrested, and the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for discreet investigation.

Dahiru Adamu, had earlier been arrested by the Command. He confessed that his syndicate masterminded and executed several kidnappings in FCT and its environs, including the abduction of Barr.
