The Anambra State Police Command has arrested a suspect, Nnamdi Anyaji, for killing his mother and attempted to commit suicide.
It was gathered that the 49-year-old Anyaji, an indigene of Amudo Village in Ekwulobia, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State, after killing his mother, Dorathy Anyaji aged 68 years, attempted to kill himself before he was stopped and apprehended by neighbours.
He was said to have killed his mother during an altercation over the sharing of money realised from a cassava business.
The Anambra State Police spokesman, Tochukwu Ikenga, who confirmed the arrest of the suspect in a press statement on Sunday, said police operatives also recovered one axe at the scene of the incident.
Ikenga said, “Police operatives attached to the Ekwulobia Divisional Police Station on April 11, 2025 by 1.40pm, arrested one Nnamdi Anyaji ‘M’ aged 49 years of Amudo Village, Ekwulobia who attempted to take his own life after killing his mother Mrs Dorathy Anyaji of the same address aged 68 years.
“The operatives also recovered one Axe at the scene. Preliminary information revealed that the squabble started when the suspect accused the deceased of being dishonest about the money realised from a cassava business.
“Meanwhile, the suspect is in custody and under close monitoring so as not to commit suicide and would be charged to court after the investigation.”
In another development, the police command said it has arrested over 12 suspects for the possession of illicit drugs and recovered exhibits during a police raid in Orumba North.
In a press statement on Sunday, Ikenga, said the suspects and the drugs have been handed over to NDLEA.
“The police operatives attached to the Special Anti-Cultism Squad, Enugu-Ukwu in the early hours of April 11, acting on credible information raided a criminal drugs camp at Umuokpala Village in Orumba North LGA, arrested 12 suspects selling and taking hard drugs, recovered some sizeable quantity of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp, illicit drugs and other implicating items.
