Barely twenty-four hours after having surgery, Paul died at the Specialist Hospital in Umuguma, Owerri.

On Monday, a 16-year-old boy at Urban Secondary School in Owerri’s Area N, World Bank Housing neighborhood, leaped over his school’s fence to recover a ball that had made its way into the unnamed landlord’s property. Paul had to fight for his life in the hospital after the property owner became enraged and shot him in the waist.

Odikanwa had on Wednesday appealed to people to pray for the recovery of his ward as he was being wheeled into the theatre to find out where his bowel movements were impeded.

“He has passed away. My son has passed away. The doctors just said they lost him. Even after the surgery yesterday (Wednesday), we had been hopeful that he would come around. My boy who had lived with me for over seven years had passed on,” he wailed.

According to him, the X-ray didn’t show the bullet in the body but doctors had to operate Paul when it was discovered that his bowel movements were impeded

Though not a biological son of Odikanwa, Paul had lived with the Odikanwas for about eight years running from where he began schooling and was in JSS 1 at Urban Secondary School, Area N, World bank area of Owerri.

The spokesperson of the State Police Command, DSP Henry Okoye, confirmed the incident and the arrest of the landlord who shot the teenager.

A huge lesson to everyone that is hot tempered...

With a good lawyer he would walk free. Firstly he scaled a fence into someone compound. That's burglary,intruder, tho the landlord went to far he should have caught the boy,and then drag him to the school premises.las las the boy go chop cane

It's going to be extremely difficult for his defence team to win this case when he's charged. This is a criminal case, not a civil case. I believe he's going to be charged with manslaughter and illegal possession of firearm, if that gun is not registered.


One could argue that he has the right to defend his property, but was his property in any form of danger when he shot the poor boy ? No.

I believe the incident happened during the day, he could have asked the boy to explain why he jumped into his property without having to shoot him.

This case is similar to what happened to Oscar Pistorius. Anyways, may the deceased rest in peace.

Anger and Lawlessness everywhere

There is more to the story,i guess the man has beef with the school and its students ,or they have been doing it for long .

No matter the case, he has no right to shoot that teenager.

Does the beef with the school sounds reasonable as an excuse for manslaughter...

Let be objective

Why not i believe thats not the first time the ball would drop onto his property,and he must have given them a warning,

Na village pple things.

Even if you're licensed to gun, must you shoot anything you see.! If you check am, this kind of landlord may be into crime, that's why he's afraid of any strange noise. I hope the innocent boy gets justice.

Gun licence in Nigeria is only for games(hunting expedition), you don't get licence to defend yourself, so even if the gun is having a valid licence, he is still wrong to have shut the boy.
To even claim self defence won't stand, as there is a sequence of events to show that the boy isn't coming for his life; climb fence, jump down, aim for his ball. While on the fence, he wouldn't be holding any object that could be harmful as he needs his 2 hands to be free to aide in climbing the walls.
His visibility must have been cleared to the man to have seen that he is not armed, yet he shot it, so it's a premeditated shooting

The guy saying with a good lawyer, the landlord might walk free is not wrong entirely actually. We are in Nigeria where the poor hardly gets justice. If the landlord gets a good lawyer with a few millions or hundreds of it to spare, he might definitely walk free.
This is Nigeria my people.

Do you know what they call an intruder. Esp an unlnown intruder. Do you know if the landlord had been robbed through such events.alaye if na me,na the samething,i go blast am. So till a thief fires a shot at u b4 your brain would administer its a robbery

Whatever your excuse, you are not an hunter, you can't shoot anyone in self-defence, except you have proof that the person is the owner of the gun and you overpowered him to take control.
You think sey you dey US abi, or dem tell you sey dem dey grant gun licence for self-defence in Nigeria

Well
So oh

How can you just climb into
someone's compound to retrieve
ordinary ball?


Na mumuness kee am..😐😐😮

Na 16 year old u dey call boy?
Leave am with ya girlfriend and come back after 9 months if she will not be +1.
Even 10 year old pikin dey kirikiri.
U don 4get those children wey Tinubu arrest for protest? How old were they?

he could have asked the boy to explain why he jumped into his property without having to shoot him.
So make e ask thief say why e wan come rob am abi?
See reasoning.
Ur reasoning no mention about 16 year old "boy" wey don get mind to dey jump stranger fence.
Im know whether na soldier fence?
No be today im start to jump fence.
As e jump today claiming to collect whatever, na spy im wan spy the compound be that for daytime for nighttime mission
You cant tell me nothing.
There is no smoke without fire and there would have been no shooting had someone not scaled a fence.
U no know say na dis small skin persons dem dey send jump fence for open gate from inside make real men enter come rob.

This case is similar to what happened to Oscar Pistorius.

There is no similarity here oga.
This case somebody trespass and not on dry land o, im climb over the fence into a protected private area.
For your reasoning, if for leave the boy enter im bedroom b4 im shoot abi.
Dis case is instead similar to the EFCC guy who was shot for breaking into someone's house.


I believe he's going to be charged with manslaughter and illegal possession of firearm, if that gun is not registered.
If the gun be registered, na self defence.
Guns no be for blow bolo bolo, na to shoot and kill.
If you doubt am, tomorrow early morning go climb Aso Rock fence, see whether dem go ask questions b4 shooting or shoot and ask questions later.

Make una dey fear God abeg and after you fear God, fear woman and North in that order.
