Witnesses said in the heat of the altercation, Destiny suddenly rushed to his father’s apartment, picked a knife and a dagger, and chased Onyebuchi for a few moments across other blocks to the east end of the barracks till he fell into a gutter.

The Inspector’s son repeatedly stabbed Onyebuchi in the back and deep into his chest in the presence of other residents and his mother.

The victim was consequently rushed to a nearby private hospital by family members but was pronounced dead shortly after admission, having lost too much blood due to the deep cuts.

One of the eyewitnesses said, “All this was witnessed by residents of the barracks, including the mother of the alleged suspect and his siblings.”

According to PUNCH, after witnessing the gravity of her son’s action, the suspect’s mother packed her children, including the suspect and absconded from the barrack, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
