UNN MURDER CASE: TWO PRINCIPAL MALE SUSPECTS ARRAIGNED AND REMANDED IN CORRECTIONAL CUSTODY


The Enugu State Police Command wishes to inform the public that two principal male suspects, Ezema Onyedikachi (aged 27) and Ugwu Chigozie Anthony (aged 21), who were arrested for allegedly stabbing and murdering one Nweze Chiebonam (male, aged 29), during a bonfire night event at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), have been arraigned in court and remanded in correctional custody. They were arraigned on a two-count charge of conspiracy and murder.


Recall that the Faculty of Arts, Department of Archaeology/Heritage Studies, organized the bonfire night on 12th September 2025, which was attended by students and invited guests, including the suspects and the deceased. However, at about 3 a.m. the following day, while attendees were leaving the venue, the vehicle of Ugwu Anthony had a minor accident with that of the deceased. The incident led to a fight involving the suspects and the deceased but was later resolved.


Further investigation revealed that the suspects initially left the venue but later conspired, armed themselves with a dagger, and returned to attack the deceased. In the course of the assault, Ezema Onyedikachi collected the dagger from Ugwu Anthony and stabbed Nweze Chiebonam fatally in the chest. He was rushed to the hospital, where he was confirmed dead by the attending doctor. The dagger used in committing the crime was recovered.


The Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, psc, has commiserated with the family of the deceased, describing the incident as both unfortunate and avoidable. He further cautions citizens, particularly the youths, to eschew violence, exercise self-control, and resolve disputes peacefully.
