Ogeoma buried his father’s severed head after the horrific act.
However, neighbours were alerted to the crime and they trooped to the compound where they saw the father’s body in a pool of his blood.
According to reports, Ogeoma had been showing signs of mental issues and was always threatening to harm people.
“Ogeoma has been showing signs of mental illness. He was always threatening to harm people. But nobody in this community knew that he would get to the extent of cutting off his father’s head.
“We are still in shock at how he could kill his father. Before neighbours were called in to see what happened, he had already buried the head in a shallow grave in the compound. He took people and showed them the grave,” a native of the community, said.
