The Ndiegoro Police Division, Aba, Abia State have arrested a man for inflicting machete cuts on a couple.
The man, Emma Ndukwe who is the landlord of No.2 Ogechi Street off Ohanku road, Aba was said to have accused the couple, Mr. Maduabughichi and his wife who are tenants in his house, of being responsible for the death of his daughter who died after a protracted illness.
After all attempts by the couple to convince the landlord that they knew nothing about the death of his daughter proved abortive, the landlord who is a native of Item community in Bende LGA, stormed the couple’s apartment in the building at about 5am and inflicted several machete cuts on them.
Ndukwe later fled his house and went into hiding as rumours went round the area that the couple may have died from the attack but neighbours who were alerted to the incident came and took them to a private hospital in the city.
Policemen from the Ndiegoro Division led by their Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Crescent Mamah later arrested the fleeing landlord from his hideout.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Abia State Command, Geoffrey Ogbonna could not be reached on his mobile number, but police sources confirmed the incident and added that investigations are on going.
