A popular herbalist known as Chief Azubuike from Amaohuru Nguru in Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State have been murdered in cold blood, together with his brother’s first son whose wife is heavily pregnant.
Narrating her ordeal, the widow, Mrs. Azu said she heard noises in the middle of the night and came out, only to see her compound surrounded by hefty men with torches flashing everywhere.
“I also heard my husband open his door and came out before I heard gun shots and hid myself. I don’t know what must have transpired but I heard them ask him about how he acquired his car and he told them it was a gift from a Reverend Father”
The Woman narrated sorrowfully, adding that her husband’s assailants also indicated that they are Police.
She wondered why they murdered her husband and his nephew since they claimed to be police because her husband is a herbalist that uses traditional medicine to help people with all kinds of problems.
However, in his sorrowful narration, one of the Azu’s recalled that his late father is in court with some members of Amaohuru Community, and wondered why anybody should descend so low as to murder his father in cold blood.
The young man praised his later father, saying he was indeed a great man because his enemies had fought him since childhood and he lived to 69 years, having accomplished so much in life.
