A very heartbreaking and disturbing incident reportedly happened in Onitsha, leaving many people in shock and deep sadness.
According to reports, this hardworking and well-known man was allegedly killed by his own apprentice (nwa boi), an 18-year-old boy said to be from Ebonyi State. What makes the story even more painful is that this was someone he took into his home, fed, trained, and treated like family.
Sources say the problem started when the apprentice returned home late one night and was confronted by his master. It was said to be a normal correction, something common in apprentice, master relationships, nothing that should ever lead to violence.
Tragically, the next morning, the boy allegedly carried out a shocking act. He reportedly locked the man’s wife and children inside a room, leaving them helpless and unaware of what was about to happen. He then attacked his master with a mortar, striking him repeatedly when the man least expected it.
