On June 29, 2015 an Igbo business man,
Chijoke Ngwu Ogbodo, a native of Nkanu LGA,
Enugu State was gruesomely murdered along
with his wife in Katsina by gunmen suspected
to be Fulani herds men. The couple were killed
in the presence of their children. Sources report
that the assassins clubbed the couple and
butchered them with a machete before shooting
them at point blank. The Igbo community in
Katsina have been thrown into deep mourning
and fear as a result of the killings. The killing of
Ngwo Ogbodo and wife appears one in a series
of targeted attacks on the Igbo population in
living Katsina. The bodies of the couple have
been removed from their home located along
the Katsina Bypass and deposited at the katsina
mortuary. Mr Ogbodo is the manufacturer of the
popular Sir Benjik Pure Water. Leaders within
the Igbo community have express little
confidence in the police ability to fish out the
killers. Previous attacks and premeditated
killings of the Igbo have gone resolved
