Landlord Butchers Tenants for Allegedly Killing Daughter in Abia

A landlord in Aba, Abia State has been arrested for inflicting machete cuts on a couple. Emma Ndukwe, who is the landlord of No.2 Ogechi Street off Ohanku road, Aba was said to have accused the couple, Mr. Maduabughichi and his wife who are tenants in his house, of being responsible for the death of his daughter who died after a protracted illness.



After all failed attempts to convince the landlord that they knew nothing about the death of his daughter, the landlord stormed the couple’s apartment in the building at about 5am and inflicted several machete cuts on them.

 Ndukwe later fled his house and went into hiding as rumours went round the area that the couple may have died from the attack, but neighbours who were alerted to the incident came and took them to a private hospital in the city.

Policemen from the Ndiegoro Division led by their Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Crescent Mamah later arrested the fleeing landlord from his hideout.
