Federal Polytechnic Student, To Die By Hanging For Killing Neigbour
If one Eto Paul Ufoma ever had inkling that a mere pair of shoes would rope him into an everlasting mess, he would have rather preferred walking bare footed.
Trouble
started for the Delta State based Accountancy student of Oko Poly when
his elder brother couldn’t condone his penchant for roughly wearing his
shoes and other accessories, a situation that forced him to keep the
said shoes in the custody of his neigbour, Julius Oforofuo, to prevent
Ufuoma from having easy access to it.
But that decision, didn’t go down well with the student when he discovered his brothers’ trick, as he stormed the house of the late Oforofuo one fateful morning asking for the canvass shoes his brother kept in his custody. The Oforofuo’s refusal to grant his request stirred up a serious fight between the two men but was later resolved by concerned neigbours.
Not satisfied with the outcome of the morning brawl, Ufuoma was said to have staged a comeback in the evening of that same fateful day and attacked the deceased who was bathing in a public bathroom at that time.
Ufuoma fully armed with dangerous weapons in the likes of broken bottles, stick, etc launched an attack on defenseless Oforofuo who was at that time fully covered with soap. He stabbed him severally on different parts of his body; even the wails of the dying man didn’t stop him from completing his devilish mission.
Oforofuo in the pool of his blood was later rushed to Oleh General Hospital by neigbours who witnessed the attack but unfortunately, he was confirmed dead on arrival (DOA).
When the killer got a wind of Oforofuo’s death, he fled the community, but was later arrested by the men of Delta State police command and consequently charged to court.
The juror at Delta State High Court, Justice Marshall Mukoro after much investigations and prosecution, sentenced the accused to death by hanging while two others linked with the murder, Samson Edorh and Akpoghene Edeno were discharged and acquitted for lack of evidence.
