Odenigbo building a house, planned to return home before Easter – Brother of man in viral video allegedly killed by kinsman in South Africa

An Imo indigene, Ifechukwu Odenigbo, was allegedly killed in South Africa by his kinsman, Daniel Nsofor, over an undisclosed business deal that went awry. The video of how Nsofor killed Odenigbo went viral prompting youths to set ablaze the suspect’s house located in Ubulu community in the Oru West local Government Area of Imo State.

However, the victim’s elder brother, Pastor Chike Odenigbo, attributed the murder of his immediate younger brother to devil’s handiwork. He said,“Elochukwu, one of my relations, said my late younger brother, Ifechukwu, had closed for work on that fateful Tuesday and was already in his house when Batista came to call him because he had stood as surety for him for the loan he collected.

“We are not requesting compensation from the South Africa government as suggested by some of my relations in South Africa because the country’s police officers who witnessed the fight ought to have stopped it. That would not bring my brother back to life and that was why I was also against the burning of Batista’s house because it wouldn’t also bring my brother back to life. We have resolved that the South African government should handle the matter according to their own laws.

He disclosed that plans were underway to bring back Ifechukwu’s corpse to Nigeria by the second week of March as soon as issues with the South African government were resolved.“Elochukwu and Okwuchukwu who are my relations in South African are making plans to ensure that the corpse is brought to Nigeria by the second week of March.

In a chat with our correspondent on the efforts of the police regarding the matter, the police spokesperson in the state, Orlando Ikeokwu, said the police had launched investigation into the setting ablaze of the suspect’s house in Nigeria.
