One of the suspects, who was arrested shortly after the incident around the federal Housing Estate, Agip by 1.00am last Thursday with blood stains, told the police that the deceased was drugged by his wife before their arrival for the operation.
He said that this made it easy for them to kill him without resistance. His confession was said to have led to the arrest of the prime suspect, Mrs Onyekasi Chukwu. Meanwhile, the eldest daughter of the deceased, Miss Chile Anne Chukwu, says she is ashamed that her mother and her family members could be involved in the killing of her father.
Speaking in an interview with The Tide, Miss Chile who said that, she heard of the incident, while processing her admission in a tertiary institution at Cotonou, Republic of Benin, describing the act as cruel and barbaric.

Also speaking, the senior brother of the deceased, Mr Fyneface Chukwu, who narrated that he was woken up from sleep by his late brother’s wife around 1.00am, denied that it was a robbery attack.
He said that on rushing to the house, he saw the mutilated body of his brother lying in a pool of blood, noting that it was at this point that he called the police.
Mr Fyneface, called for thorough investigation by the police to unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of the deceased.
