Gunmen Murder Three Sons Of Anambra Traditional Healer

In a tragic incident, gunmen have reportedly killed three children of a native doctor in Nise community, Awka South Local Government Area, Anambra State. The harrowing event occurred on Saturday night when the assailants scaled the fence to access the residence.

Reports reveal that the attackers placed the lifeless bodies of the victims inside a parked Mercedes Benz within the compound before making their escape.

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson for the Anambra State Police Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, disclosed to journalists on Monday that a manhunt for the perpetrators was underway. He stated, “The attackers invaded the premises, murdered the children, and left their remains in a parked Mercedes Benz within the compound. Though the event took place on Saturday, we received the report late on Sunday. Investigations are ongoing to determine if the father’s negligence played a role or the motive of the culprits.”

An anonymous source revealed that the children, aged between six and two years old, were found with their mouths tied. The source further claimed that the native doctor had a habit of locking his wife and children inside the house while he was away.

It was also alleged that the native doctor had unresolved disputes with certain individuals, though it remains unclear if these conflicts contributed to the tragic deaths of his children.
