Mkpuru Mmiri: 30-year-old Ndubuisi burns father to death over N8,000 in Abia

A 30-year-old Ndubuisi Nwaobilor has allegedly killed his father after he poured petrol and set him ablaze at Umuomauzor in Asa North autonomous community in Ukwa West Local Government Area of Abia State.

Ndubuisi, a tiler was said to have burnt the father, a retired driver, after the latter refused to part with the money that the LG council chairman and his deputy shared to some elders of the community.

According to The Nation, a source in the neighbourhood, who asked not to be named, said: “You know that the governor directed that the people selling meat at the Waterside Abattoir should vacate the place and move to Umuomauzor where the new abattoir was situated.

“The Ukwa Local Government Chairman visited the community ahead of the movement of the abattoir to inspect the level of work that is going on there.

“The man’s share from the money given out by the local government chairman and the deputy who is from the Umuomauzor village was about N8,000.

“When he came back, the son, who thought that the father and others were given large sums of money, confronted the father, demanding his own share.

“The explanation that they were not given any huge sum of money fell on deaf ears.

“He never believed the father, and in the heat of the argument, he pushed him down, poured some petrol on him and struck a match that set him ablaze.”

The source added: “I don’t know if they were having any problem before that day. But what I can tell you is that the boy takes mkpurummiri.
