Mr. Sylvester Ezema, a native of Akpa Edem, Nsukka, Enegua State, was set on fire by his neighbour, Sunday Ugwuoke on Sunday, the 4th of July, 2013.

A member of the community, who desired anonymity, said that the victim had been ambushed on his premises at about 5:30am when he came out to urinate. Thereupon, he had been sighted by Ugwuoke, doused with petrol and set ablaze. The suspect ran away and is still at large.

The screams of the victim attracted other residents, where he was rushed to the Chukwudi Hospital, Nsukka, where he later died.

Ugwuoke was alleged to have earlier told some of his friends that he had warned the victim many times to desist from what he termed his “suspicious relationship with his mother.”

Investigations an ongoing for the suspect.
