A man has landed in the custody of the Ebonyi State Police Command for allegedly killing his 20-year-old brother, Ebubechi Orogwu.
Reports gathered that the suspect, Chinwekpe Orogwu, killed Ebubechi because he ate his goat intestines meal.
The incident happened on 15 May 2020 at Amauda Nzashi Ndufu Echara in Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
It was gathered that the said goat was killed in their compound and when the meat was shared, the intestines were given to Chinwekpe and his brother.
It was gathered that the duo were enjoying the already cooked goat intestines when Chinwekpe accused Ebubechi of eating his own portion of the innards. In the ensuing argument, Chinwkpe was said to have picked a wooden object and hit his brother’s head with it.
Reports said the shout of the victim attracted neighbours who stormed the scene, carried the collapsed victim to Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, where he was confirmed dead.

Ebubechi’s remains were returned to Ikwo and deposited at Ikwo General Hospital.
Speaking to journalists in Abakaliki, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Loveth Odah, confirmed the incident and the arrest of the suspects.
She stated that the incident was reported to the police by one Nwofia Clement who hails from the area.
Odah said that Nwofia reported to the police that the incident happened on 15th May at their compound, where they killed a goat.
She stated further that Nwofia confirmed that Chinwekpe Orogwu, used a wooden pole to hit one Orogwu Ebubechi, 20 years old, on the head.
“The suspect claimed that the victim reportedly ate more intestine. The victim was rushed to the Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, for treatment, but he was confirmed dead and his body was deposited at the Ikwo General Hospital while the suspect has been arrested.
“The matter is under investigation, and we can’t believe that it was because of goat intestine that someone killed his own brother,” Odah stressed.
