The Ebonyi State Police Command has arrested one Ikenna Ogbonna Ota, a native of Azuoto Okpoitumo community in Abakaliki Local Government Area of the state, for allegedly stealing and presenting a stolen cow for the burial rites of his late father-in-law.
Agbo said he went for a routine check on the cow in the bush four days before the burial date of his neighbor’s father-in-law but could not see the cow where it was tied. He explained that he was surprised to see the stolen cow at Ebia Unuphu Community where he went to commiserate with the family of Okemini Oyibe. He said that he saw the cow being tied with some Fulani cows for a presentation for the rites.

“Ikenna Ogbonna Ota is my neighbour. I knew his father-in-law was dead and the burial was slated for 9th of December. Days before the ceremony, one of my cows went missing. All efforts by my children to find it were not successful until I coincidentally saw it being presented at Ebia Unuhu by IKenna for the burial rites of his father-in-law,” he said
