From IKECHUKWU NNADI, Nnewi
It was another hellish day in Nnewichi, Nnewi, Anambra, following the alleged killing of three siblings by unknown assailants on February 1, 2025.
Three siblings, a boy aged 5, and two girls aged 7 and 9 respectively, were reportedly murdered and their bodies squeezed into a deep freezer at a residence by yet to be identified assailants.
It was gathered that the eldest of the siblings, a girl, Ejezie Chikaima Daviana, the second daughter, Ejezie Chimziterem Dominica and the only son, Ejezie Chimdilim David, were left in the house by their mother, Mrs Chikazor Ejezie, said to be a lecturer and a nurse, who had gone out to partake in an examination on the fateful day.
However, on return from the examination in the evening, the mother saw the house wide open, an unusual situation since the children were used to locking
the door whenever they went out in the absence of their parents.
A distraught Mr Ejezie Udobi, father of the deceased, who is based in Irrua, Edo State, narrated:
“My wife told me, after searching for the kids by herself and a search party, without success, that, in despair, the deep freezer was opened and behold, the dead bodies of the kids were there.
“In the house, a bungalow where we live with two tenants and the landlord, the kids were eating when the assailants stormed the house at about noon, as there were traces of food in plates that were like
forcefully abandoned.
“The corpses of the kids have been deposited at a morgue and the police, CPS Nnewi, is where we reported the matter and the police are investigating. You can see that I am completely devastated. My three kids killed at the same time by yet to be identified assailants!”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, who confirmed the incident said the Commissioner of Police, CP Nnaghe Itam, has ordered a full investigation.
“The bodies have been recovered, and the CP has transferred the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Awka for thorough investigation. More details will be shared later,” Ikenga said.
