The police in Imo have arrested one Chimezie Osuigwe, a retired vice-principal, for the alleged murder of his 78-year-old mother in 2003.

Osuigwe was arrested after the embalmed body of the septuagenarian was discovered in a cupboard at his house by a family member.

According to Mr Musa Katsina, the Commissioner of Police in Imo, the woman, Mrs Lucy Osuigwe, was declared missing since 2003.

Katsina told newsmen at the house in Ejemekuru in Oguta Local Government Area on Monday that the embalmed body had been kept in that condition since 2003.

“The corpse of Mrs Lucy Osuigwe, who was declared missing in 2003 was found in a large cupboard inside a shrine in a private room in a circumstance depicting ritual practice.

“The embalmed body, which was kept in that condition for about 10 years is believed to have been placed in the wardrobe by her son, Dr Chimezie Osuigwe, a devotee of the Guru Maharaji Sect.

“Preliminary assessment of the scene of crime revealed that the woman must have been murdered by the son for ritual purposes,” he said.

The commissioner said that plans were on to arrest other members of the sect who visit Osuigwe’s shrine.

He said the body would be handed over to the forensic team of the command to determine the cause of death.

He also said the suspect would be held for first degree murder until the cause of death was established.

Gboliwe: funny? Your sense of humor is intriguing

My bad, now I think its a boring story. Nollywood has been showing me this same story in over 10yrs. I just don't bliv bullstories like this.

Heartless

the gods are to be blamed

This is real wah!

Unna menh, dis is serious.

Sad all that just to become vice principal ... Damn he couldn't even make Principal !!!!!!

Abegi this story is a lie joor, the man no even get money.

Atleast according to nollywood,the dead body is supposed to be vomiting cash for him.

A son she carried in her womb for 9 good months did this to her for ritual purposes? For 10yrs her soul could not rest in peace after this torture. I hope animal chief is dealt with.

:0. Oh my ggoist.

What a wicked and heartless man!

With the heinous crime he committed, has he become richer than Dangote?

Is he more respected than Wole Soyinka?

Is he as controversial as IBB?

Is he as well-known as Obasanjo or Jonathan?

Is he as important in Imo state as Rochas?

They deceive and brainwash them so that they are ready to do anything for money.

Dr Jonas Salk in 1955 chose not to patent his polio vaccine, so that millions of people who needed it would be able to afford it. He lost the opportunity to earn at least USD7 billion.

Someone should tell these ritualists, fraudsters, kidnappers, embezzlers, child traffickers, etc that money (especially illicit) is not everything.

Guru Maraj na church abi mosque abi pagan abi nuetral

Kai...
Osi Beru Olohun Iwo omo Jatijati Yi!!!!!!

GraceBestowed: This is beyond sad! With the way I LOVE my mother, I cannot imagine someone bringing harm her way, talk more of I causing her harm!

So callous and undignified. No one deserves to die, and be 'kept', like a chicken! All for what? Money, respect, or power?? All that seems 'right' will only lead to shame, and destruction!

Rule no.11 attempted to ...

The quest of getting rich quick or whatever is making a lot of people go crazy these days
How can someone kill his mother for ritual??
This man Chief Chimezie Osigweh must have a serious mental issue that need sorting.
