Sad! 3 siblings k!lled in Anambra, corpses placed in deep freezer
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
A horrible incident occurred in Nnewichi, Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, on Saturday when unknown attackers killed three siblings—a five-year-old boy and two girls aged seven and nine
Reports said the killers entered their home while the children were eating, murdered them and placed their bodies inside a deep freezer in one of the rooms.
Eyewitnesses said their mother, Chikazor Ejezie, a lecturer and nurse had gone out for an examination, while their father, who works in Edo State, was also away when the incident occurred.
“When the mother returned, she noticed the house was wide open, which was unusual because the children always locked the door when going out.
“After searching everywhere, their lifeless bodies were later found in the freezer. Investigations suggest they were killed and dumped inside,” an eyewitness said.
Speaking on Monday, the father of the deceased, Ejezie Udochukwu, said he was in Edo state when his wife called to inform him of the tragedy, and he rushed to Nnewichi.
Udochukwu said, “When my wife got home, she didn’t see the children. She and others searched for them, even at the church where they served as altar boys and girls, but they weren’t there.
“Eventually, in desperation, they opened the deep freezer, and that’s where their bodies were found. We live in a bungalow with two tenants and our landlord. The children were eating when the attackers came around noon. There were still plates with food that looked like they had been left in a hurry.
“Their bodies have been taken to the morgue, and the case has been reported to the Central Police Station in Nnewi. The police are investigating. I am devastated—three of my children were killed at the same time by unknown people.”
Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, 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.
Meanwhile, residents of Nnewichi have called for a proper investigation and justice for the murdered children.Three siblings killed in Anambra

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has petitioned the Federal High Court in Abuja to compel suspended Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to delete a satirical apology she posted on her social media pages.
On 27 April, Akpoti-Uduaghan shared a short video in which she mockingly apologised to Akpabio, claiming it was for not allowing him to have his way with her.
Akpoti-Uduaghan stated she was ‘sorry for the crime of maintaining dignity and self-respect’ and for rejecting the advances of the Senate President, whom she implied believed no one could refuse him.
The dispute between the two senators stems from an altercation in the Senate chamber over seating arrangements.
This led to Akpoti-Uduaghan initiating a suit that sought to stop the Senate from investigating her for alleged misconduct.
In particular, the senator asked the court to prevent the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, chaired by Senator Neda Imasuen, from taking any disciplinary action against her.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was later suspended following her accusations against the Senate President, accusing him of sexual harassment.
The presiding judge, Justice Binta Nyako, on 4 April 2025, restrained all parties involved in the suit from making public comments about the ongoing case.
Meanwhile, Akpabio’s legal team, led by Kehinde Ogunwumiju, has filed a fresh application asking the court to direct Akpoti-Uduaghan to delete the video, arguing it violated a judge’s directive.
In his application, Akpabio’s lawyer also requested the court to order Akpoti-Uduaghan to remove the post from all her social media accounts.
Additionally, Ogunwumiju urged the court to mandate Akpoti-Uduaghan to publish a written apology in at least two national newspapers and file an affidavit confirming her compliance.

According Mr Soludo, APGA and the All Progressives Congress, APC, will work together, as both parties share a common belief in progressivism.

Earlier, the President described Mr Soludo as a competent governor.
