could not make out their faces. He even knelt down, according to his police
statement, and asked God to not to allow his death.
Then he went back to sleep and dreamt again. This time, he
claimed he saw the faces of dream killers, one of whom was ‘Omege’. The suspect decided to kill his cousin first before the
dream became a reality.

relation of his in Uburu, Ohaozara LGA of the state.
He said the suspect had a bitter quarrel with Onu and other
relatives on Saturday over his decision to tip laterite on a ground where the
family had planned to use for a wedding reception on Sunday.
“After persuasion, he agreed to relocate the laterite but when
the family members gathered to finalise the arrangements for the wedding
reception, he brandished a gun and shot Onu,’’ he said.
He said that the suspect immediately escaped into the bush while
a manhunt had been mounted by the Ohaozara Police Division.
