These are certainly not the best of times for the Okorie family of
Isiakpu village, Okposi Okwu in Ohaozara Local Government
Area of Ebonyi State. As other families revel in the New Year
festivities, the Okories are dressed in the robe of despair and
sorrow. Indeed, the family has been enveloped by a thick pall of
grief following the untimely demise of their father and
breadwinner.
The Okories are not only crying because their father is dead,
but also the manner in which death came. It was learnt that
the man who was in his late 60s and father of four allegedly
died in the loins of his girlfriend, Nneoma (surname
withheld), a Banking and Finance student of the Ebonyi State
University (EBSU), Abakaliki.
Okorie, who owned a block-making factory, was allegedly lured
to the ‘nest of death’ near the Presco campus of the university
by the lover girl who allegedly acted in concert with another
boyfriend of hers, whose first name was given as Alex.
Investigation revealed that on the day Okorie died, he received a
call from Nneoma, asking him to meet her in a five-storey hostel
off Goddy Ogbaga Avenue in Abakaliki, the state capital. On
getting there, it was learnt, they began to do those things that
lovers do and her school boyfriend, Alex, appeared suddenly on
the scene like a ghost. And the man died in the process.
Interestingly, the late Okorie, Nneoma and Alex hail from the
same community.
A police source said: “What happened was that the man was
lured by a girl he has been assisting as a family friend and/or
lover to somewhere in Abakaliki. Thinking that all was well, he
went to honour the call. Unknown to him, the girl’s boyfriend
had already made some arrangements to either threaten or
intimidate and extort money from him. But in the process, while
in the so-called boyfriend’s room, he died.
