Son Serves Father Acid So He Can Inherit His Wealth
The trouble started when Mr Sunday Obi, a
former staff of Chevron, was served breakfast
but instead of water, he was given acid to
drink.
The Obi family in Warri, Delta State has been
torn apart by a case of murder after its patriarch,
Sunday was allegedly killed by his own son,
Ikechukwu.
The trouble was said to have started when Mr.
Obi, a former staff of Chevron, was served
breakfast on May 23, 2014 but instead of water,
he was given acid to drink.
His wife, Dora narrated the incident to Vanguard
saying that she suspected the victim’s son of
murdering his father so that he can inherit the
latter’s wealth.
She said:
“We woke up that morning; and I made his
(husband) breakfast before I left for church. While
in church, I received an urgent call from his last
son, Ikechukwu, that I should come home, that
my husband had been rushed to hospital.”
“When I tried to find out what actually happened
to him, Ikechukwu said he drank acid. At the
General Hospital Warri where he was rushed to,
we were referred to Delta State University
Teaching Hospital (DSTH), Oghara where the
doctors said the case was beyond them. We were
again referred to University of Benin Teaching
Hospital (UBTH) when they could not handle the
case. He died four days later at the UBTH and has
not been buried.”
“Ikechukwu was the only one at home with him
when the incident occurred. I was told that when
my husband was eating, he asked for a cup of
water and he was served with acid instead of
water.”
“I was told that Ikechukwu allegedly confessed
that it was one of his siblings who brought the
acid, claiming it was drug and that he did not
know that it was acid before giving it to his father
as water. The motive of the action was probably
as a result of his wealth. He did not offend them
in any way; they wanted him to die so that they
will inherit his wealth”
The victim’s daughter, Esther told her account of
what happened when she learnt of her father’s
“accident”
“I hurriedly dressed up and, on getting to the
hospital; I was dumbfounded on what I saw.
Already, my mother and brothers were there and,
when I asked what happened to him, Anayo said
that it was Ikechukwu that gave him acid to drink
and that he had reported the incident to the
police at A Division who later came to the hospital
to interrogate my father”, she said.
“When the policemen left, I asked my father why
he should drink acid, and he said that he asked
for water and he was served with acid; he said
that he did not know it was acid and that it was
Ikechukwu who gave him. I observed that the
mouth and chest were burnt.” she added.
Three suspects, including two sons of the victim,
Ikechukwu and Anayo, have reportedly been
arrested in connection with the death and
investigations are still ongoing.
