EVIL COMES INTO EHUGBO…This is the corpse of an innocent young boy of about 5 years, who went missing few days ago in Amaokwu Amangballa, Afikpo North LGA of Ebonyi State.

 

A search was launched for him, with deployment of town criers, youths and purported report at the police station.

 

However, residents of Amaokwu Amangballa woke up today to see the corpse of the innocent boy in the same Amaokwu Amangballa; allegedly strangled by the unknown murderer and dumped for passerbys to see.

 

Who could do this to an innocent child? This is barbaric, heinous and condemnable! Just how did this evil come to humanity that even innocent children could be strangled and dumped for grieving parents to see? OH, WHAT WICKEDNESS.
