Residents of Umueze, Enugwu-Achi, Oji-River Local Government Area, Enugu State last Monday were thrown into mourning following the death of 3-year-old Akachukwu in the hands of his 14-year-old brother Ebubechukwu,14, using their father’s gun. 

 

The brothers were said to be re-enacting movie scenes, not knowing that the gun was loaded. 

 

According to a source, their father, Christian Odika, had left for their village square at Obodo-Ukwu Enugwu-Akwu, for a meeting, when the tragic news reached him.

Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, said: “Investigations into the tragic incident have commenced to ascertain the remote causes, so the law can take its course.”
