Shock gripped Umuchimanyiri village, Obazu Mbieri in Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State after it was discovered that two siblings allegedly killed their elder brother, Orindu and buried him in a shallow grave.
The suspects identified as Lucky and Uzoma Amadi, were arrested on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
In a bid to conceal the m8rder of their elder brother, the suspects lied to the villagers that Orindu had traveled out of the state
When the truth began to surface, irate youths stormed the residence and forced the suspects to exhume the remains from a shallow grave in their compound where they buried him.
According to a journalist Okeoma Chidiebube, who visited the scene, the skeletal remains were hung around the suspects’ necks as the angry villagers demanded justice.
Officers from the Mbieri Divisional Headquarters, including the Divisional Police Officer, arrived just in time to rescue the brothers from mob action, recover exhibits, and take custody of the remains.
One of the suspects who is a tricycle operator claimed that the victim caused the death of their father years ago.
The spokesperson for the police in the state, Henry Okoye, had yet to issue a statement in regards to the development.
