It was anger that made me stab her to death” was the confessional statement of a 27-year-old murder suspect, Ejike Eze.

An Ebonyi State indigene, Eze had lived in the Ayegbami area of Ijebu Ode, Ogun State for about four years dealing in scraps. The house where he lived was a bungalow with a large compound populated by people from the Igbo and Yoruba tribes.

Penultimate Friday morning, he committed an act that threw his neighbourhood and the entire community into confusion and panic when he killed a 59-year-old neighbour, Mrs Adeyigba Oladipo.
