Native doctor remanded for attempting to bury lover and children alive
Ibekimi Oriamaja Reports
Nonso, a native doctor from Umuona in Anambra State’s Aguata Local Government Area, was arrested for attempting to bury his lover and her two children alive.
He was charged with attempted murder in a Chief Magistrates Court in Awka on Wednesday and was remanded in prison custody.
Track discovered that the man, who was in a relationship with a single mother of two children, dispatched a commercial motorcyclist to retrieve her and her children, and then slit her throat and attempted to bury her and her two children in an already dug grave in his backyard.
The victim, who told her story after being released from the hospital, explained that she went to see the suspect because he had previously promised to marry her.

“On that fateful day, the suspect sent a bike man to bring me and the kids to his house,” she said. He refused to let us go home that day because it was already late. He later told me that he had a surprise for me, and he blindfolded me with a white handkerchief.”
She stated that it was at that point that she struggled to understand what was going on, but it was too late because the suspect had already brought a knife and began slitting her throat.
Despite her struggle for life, the victim was overpowered and dragged to an already dug 4-5ft grave in the suspect’s backyard, where she was pushed into the grave. She also claimed that the suspect, who threw a large stone over her head, went to get a shovel to cover her when she began screaming, waking up the suspect’s sister, who had been sleeping off.
According to her, it was the suspect’s elder sister, who came to her aid after she had also alerted members of the public, who apprehended the native doctor, but by then, his accomplice, the bike man, had escaped.
The victim and her two children were later arraigned, according to Track News, after the Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Mrs Ify Obinabo, solicited for them through her Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) response team.
The charge was read to the defendant during the proceedings at the Children, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Court presided over by Genevieve Osakwe, but no plea was taken.
In addition, the court remanded the defendant to the correctional facility and ordered that the police send the original case file to the Attorney General’s office.
The case was postponed until December, while police were directed to apprehend the evading accomplice.
