His burial announcement was made by the suspect.
According to a family source who narrated the incident to the Nation on Tuesday, July 12, Ugwuka initially denied knowledge of his brother’s death until he was taken the shrine.
“But when both of them were repeatedly interrogated, the nephew maintained that he is innocent, while Ugwuka continued to accuse him, and also continued to deny that he himself did not have any hand in the death,”
“As a result, the villagers had to resort to using traditional means to unravel the truth. They have to take them to a popular shrine at Nando last Sunday, to swear before the deity, to prove their innocence.
“After his nephew had sworn and was vindicated, Ugwuka was hooked and instantly blinded by the deity while swearing, which made him to start confessing immediately. It was during the confession that he revealed that he killed his elder with rat poison because of land dispute.”
A viral video showed Ugwuka kneeling and confessing at the shrine, while being interrogated by the villagers.
“I poisoned my brother to death with rat poison over land.” he said.
