A notorious young man, Anselm Ugwuoke, is now on the run after killing his father, Paulinus Ugwuoke, 60, on Christmas Day, in Enugu State.
The incident occurred in Imilike-Agu, a town in Udenu LGA of the state during Christmas celebration. It was gathered that, at about 10pm on the fateful day, Anselm and some of his friends had a heated argument with his father at their family house.
The subject of the disagreement is still unknown, but it was learnt that the matter took an ugly turn when Anselm got mad and struck his father with an object.
According to Punch, the father reportedly collapsed and became unconscious, following the impact.
He died shortly after receiving the fatal blow. However, after noticing that his father had died, Anselm took to his heels, in company with his friends.
His elder brother, Sunday Ugwuoke, who expressed shock and sadness at the tragic incident, urged the police and other security agencies to ensure that Anselm was brought to book.
He said Anselm would not get away with the crime. "I am still in a state of shock over what has happened but I know we will still get Anselm," Sunday insisted.
The spokesman for the Enugu State Police Command, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the development, said the police were on Anselm’s trail and they are sure he will be caught
