NewsRescue- Although we can not verify, in a very touching, remarkable development, the very sister of the young man accused of this horrendous act, recently commented on this article, that- though he is her brother, he should be killed for it. Linda Uwakwe:
Kill him, he deserves it. He is my brother
We have contacted her for a brief on her relationship with the accused and an indepth on his life and times, to understand better from her the reasons why she believes he can act in such a way. We sympathize with her and the family as well as the victims family and friends.

Vanguard- By Chidi Nkwopara
Residents of Owerri were Wednesday morning treated to a morbid spectacle as the police command paraded four suspects and the decomposing head of an 18-year old Chinwe Doris Perpetua Obieri, who was murdered for ritual purposes.
The bizarre scene, which was a replica of the infamous Otokoto saga of September 1996, had the prime suspect, 24-year old Emeka Uwakwe, from Ndiakunwata, Arondizuogu, Ideato North local government area of the state, clutching the decapitated head of his girl friend, Chinwe.
Speaking to newsmen, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Aloy Okorie, gave the names of the other suspects as Chigamezu Anyaoha from Orodo, Mbaitoli local council area, Anthony Obioha from Lude, Ahiazu Mbaise local government area, and the medicine man, Damian Joseph from Obot Akara, Akwa Ibom State.

Mr. Okorie gave a graphic account of how the sordid crime was committed and the efforts made by the state police command to apprehend the suspects in far away Lagos State. Excerpts:
“You can see we have a case of murder for ritual murder. What happened was that on Sunday, July 26, 2009, the young lady whose head you are seeing (pointing at the decapitated head of Chinwe) left her Akokwa home, Ideato North local government area of Imo State. You can see the head without the body.
Late Chinwe before her death
“The young man, Emeka Uwakwe, is the boy friend of this girl and he came all the way from Lagos and lured her to his house in the village. He murdered the girl, cut off her head for ritual purpose and dumped the headless body in a bush. Apparently, the girl had told her parents that she was going to visit her maternal uncle in another village.
“As at 7.04pm on that same Sunday, she called her parents and informed them she was already in her maternal uncle’s compound and they believed her. Later, her parents made a call to her and the call was not pulling through up till the next morning and by Monday when it was obvious that she was not coming back, they made a report to the police that their daughter was missing.
“The names of the parents are Mr. Nicholas and Mrs. Theresa Obieri from Umuezeala, Umueziama Kindred in Akokwa. It was after they made the report to the police that some vigilante people on the same date, came around and said they saw a headless body in the bush. The police invited the girl’s parents and they identified the headless body to be that of their daughter.

“It was at that point that the police swung into action and started making investigations. From information, we got to know that she had a boy friend who is resident in Lagos and who was seen around home within that period. So, we went to Lagos and we were able to arrest Emeka Uwakwe. You can see him now with the head of the slain girl (pointing at Emeka).
“When we now got him, he made a confession that Mr. Damian Joseph of Obot Akara in Akwa Ibom State, though he is based in Lagos also, was the one who made the charm with which, if he got the head of this girl, mix it with the charm and bury it, money will start flowing, he will start plucking money as if he was plucking fruits from the tree. That was exactly what the man did. He (Emeka) got the concoction, mixed it with the head and buried it in his room.
“We also went for the Native Doctor and got him. Meanwhile, Emeka made a confession too that it was his friends, Chigaemezu Anyaoha and Anthony Obioha, that introduced him to the Native Doctor and that he was capable of making medicine for money. They also confirmed that they had done such a medicine before with human scrotum. We do not know whether it their own scrotum or other people’s scrotum. We will surely find out in due.
“You can see the pretty 18-year old girl (displaying her photograph). I am sure if you had seen this girl when she was alive, you will weep. You will certainly weep because I have never seen a thing like that in my life. I just imagine my own daughter of that age being slaughtered for ritual purposes.
“Well, in an era where we talking about people going to live in the moon, that is the age we are in, 21st century, and people are still being fooled that they can use human head to make money. It is very unfortunate.

“Emeka Uwakwe was arrested on Wednesday last week (August 12, 2009) and when he gave us the information on how he got about the whole show, our men left for Lagos on Sunday and we were able to arrest both the Native Doctor and the other two boys. The next line of action is that they will pay the price prescribed by the laws of the land. We all know the price for somebody who has committed murder. He will pay with his own life. There is no duplicate for life. If he had the courage to kill somebody, he should also be prepared to face the consequence. He should be in a position to say if he killed her with a knife or first strangulated her before he cut off the neck.
“It is very clear that the girl deceived her parents. My advice is simple. I have a daughter of that age. I know how we monitor her. Most times, especially in this era, if she has to go out, we must let go with somebody because you never can tell. That age is a critical period in the training of children. Parents should monitor their daughters closely. It is easy to make contacts in this GSM era. I am sure that if the parents had raised alarm that very night they did not see her, may be things would have come out differently. Source

WAT A WORLD, WAT ARE WE ACTUALLY LIVING THIS LIFE FOR, WE SAVE MONEY WHEN WE DON’T KNOW WHEN WE’LL DIE
HOW CAN A MAN HOPE TO DO RITUAL WITH HIS LIFE WHEN HE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHEN HE WILL DIE? GOD I BEG OOOOOHHHHHHH
i can;t do such thing because one day everybody will die one very good day,kill any one that do that.
I must say am impressed with another outlet of truth, but we should also watch for lies based on police investigation supposing those responsible are flexing. But he who lives by the sword must surely die by it.
is dis 4real? my God come and save us all…. { crying }
i wish GOD can forgive them

This is not the matter of tribe but the heart that doesnt know God.
ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER DISGRACE AND DISSAPOINTMENT FROM A YOUNG NIGERIAN.FOOL !!DAT IS WHAT YOU ARE AND I HOPE AS AM WRITING THIS MESG.JUSTICE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE AS I KNOW U ARE A POOR ASS HOLE U CANT ESCAPE THIS WICKED ACT.SO ONCE AGAIN I SAID BURN IN HELL!!!!.
im not from nigeria or anything but frm my understanding a man killed his girlfreind out of greed and pertaing to a ritual. and that is very sad she was 18 the same age as me she didnt have enough time tew live her life let alone fulfill her dreams i feel so sorry for her parents and other loved ones
This is a total disgrace. How can a modern man believe that he can be rich through ritual means? Black man is an embarrassment to nature. Look at how white people are using their heads to think and perform wonders while black people are looking to use human heads for money. It is times like this I wish I was white. ‘TOTAL SHAME ON NIGERIANS!!!!!!!!’.
Oroma shame 2 you, ur generation will know no peace since u have denied urself being a nigerian or a black man. shame unto ur generation.
Oroma, denying ur country is not d issue,& it can’t make a change on u, so kpekichom ur buca cavity, cos u may not be free, r u sure he is not YOUR………. But as 4 d guy who had d hrt 2 kill his own girlfriend in d name of ritual should go 2 hell, oh Father save me oo, I hope my boyfriend will not do dis 2 him, well he is a Christian. As 4 d Police, remember d wicked should not go unpurnised, it may not be by killing him, but if its d only alternative, so kabosh (go ahead) but my prayer is dis, MAY GOD HAVE MERCY AND FORGIVE HIM.
they deserve nothin but death
Iam From Nigerian and was in fear to see this happening in Ngeria.I believe in rule of law as this most require to be payed on a double burial but is most unforturnate that a big hands are on this…those that will turn down the table to make fat their pocket…Let us see what the end will be.
GOD HAVE MERCY UPON US.

IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR SOMEBODY LIKE IKEDI OHAKIM TO BE THERE, ALL THIS BAD THINGS WILL BE HAPPENING. HE HAS TO DO SOMETHING GET THE FUCKING MESS OUT FROM IMO STATE.
wonderful story! u maen this realy happen ? it is diversted in the mind of an innocent man like me. my instant judgement on this, is that those men should be beheaded without any court decision. am sure he slept with the innocent young girl before killing her. i am very very sympatetic to the parents of the girl, it is a pitty. law should never for any reason set emeka free.
yes i support let them be beheaded
fIRST, WHY SHOULD iMO gOVERNMENT RELEASE oTOKOTO WHEN THEY KNOW THAT HE IS THE FATHER OF ALL THESE CRIME. lET THEM GO AND APPREHEND oTOKOTO AGAIN AND BEHEAD THOSE MEN WITH HIM. THEN THOSE CRIME WILL STOP.
I witnessed the September 24 and 25 1996 saga live in Imo State, I think the Powers that be should look into this case properly Otokoto & his son Obidiozo caused great havon in the the Imo State under the governorship of Navy Captain James Aneke butmany thanks to Gov. Tanko Zubairu who exposed the throught the murder of one Ikechukwu Okonkwo, both Otokoto 6 & Otokoto 9 were all sad stories but I do not know what the FG & SG are doing about them.
Now it is Chinwe & its Imo again! May God help us.
