A shocking incident has occurred in Ugboroke Community, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State, where a man identified as Okandeji allegedly hired thugs to beat his daughter’s boyfriend, Ikolo Ochuko, to death. The brutal attack, which took place on December 12, resulted in the 35-year-old victim succumbing to his injuries on December 20.
According to reports, Okandeji had repeatedly warned Ochuko to stay away from his 20-year-old daughter, citing his disapproval of the young man’s profession as a barber. Despite the warnings, Ochuko had reportedly ended the relationship and distanced himself from the family, following advice from friends and the threats from Okandeji.
However, in a shocking turn of events, Okandeji allegedly orchestrated an attack on Ochuko at his barbing salon, hiring thugs to beat him to a pulp. The victim suffered grievous injuries and was rushed to the hospital, where he was eventually confirmed dead by a doctor on December 20.
The news of Ochuko’s death sent shockwaves through the community, prompting some of the suspected thugs to flee, while Okandeji was taken into custody by the police.
When contacted, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, stated that he was not yet aware of the incident, but would provide more information once the matter was reported to the Command.
