Jilted Lover Shoots Ex-girlfriend and Family Members in Lagos

On saturday, february 16th, a 27-year-old man (name withheld), stormed
the home of miss Katherine Ijedinma and gunned down everyone.
The man, a native of Imo State, visited the homes of Mr and Mrs Henry
Ekene Ozor and that of Mr and Mrs Odia at Igando, Lagos, at night and
shot his victims in cold blood over his relationship with Sandra,
Katherine's twin sister which her parents did not approve of. Lying on
her hospital add, the thought of the incident that led to the brutal
killing of at least seven family members gave the young lady of 24, a
frightful look.
Narrating her experience, Katherine said: "We were at home when a man
jumped the fence into the compound. Everyone was shouting Ole! Ole!
(thief, thief). I checked and it was the guy that was dating my twin
sister and he was carrying a gun. I was asking him what are you doing
here and he asked us to go inside, I was carrying my aunt's baby. "He
said I was the one that asked my twin sister not to marry him.
I told him that I wasn't the one but before I knew what was happening,
he asked me to raise my clothes up that he wanted to shoot at my
belly. Fearfully, I lifted my clothes up. He aimed the gun at me and
as he was about shooting, I jumped up and I didn't know what happened
again." Waking up on the hospital bed, Katherine saw that it was her
thigh that the bullet hit. According to her, the man carried a big
gun, aimed at her stomach and shot.
On who the alleged killer was, Katherine said: "I don't know how my
twin sister met the guy but all I know is that they were friends and
the guy lived in Warri, Delta State." Right now, Katherine, who is
grateful to God that the suspect didn't kill her doesn't even know
that her twin, two elder sisters and children whom the man later shot
are in the morgue. Also, the world of Mr Ozor has suddenly collapsed
with the gruesome murder of his eight-month pregnant wife, elder
sister to Katherine and others.
Since the incident, Ozor said he had not eaten any food except water.
Ozor, who described the whole scene as terrible, said he had never
seen anything like that before. "They said my wife tried to run away
but this man pursued her and shot thrice at her. I have been trying to
transfer the corpses, but it is not easy. I don't know how I manage to
do all the work that I do, going from one ward to the other to attend
to them and to other places. It is only by God's strength.
"I have refused to think about the whole scenario because I don't know
where to start from. Right now the aged parents of the deceased in
Igbodo, Delta State, are yet to be notified on the death of their
three children and four grandchildren. The suspected killer, whose
first point of call was the Ozors, shot Sandra, his girlfriend;
Katherine, his girl friend's twin sister; Mrs Ozor, Sandra's elder
sister; Mrs. Ozor's first daughter, Happiness and second daughter,
Bethel.
While others died on the spot, Katherine and Bethel survived and were
rushed to an undisclosed hospital. Three-year-old Miss Victory was
spared. After that, the killer went to the home of the Odias and
killed Mrs Ngozi Odia, eldest sister to the girlfriend and her three
children including Angela, 12; Chidinma, 10 and Chinenye, eight years
old. The suspect is still on the run but since then he has allegedly
been threatening Mr. Ozor through calls.
