Emeka Ofor and his bride Nkechi Ofor
Pure commotion was recorded during a wedding ceremony in Abia State.
The wedding ceremony which was between one Nkechi Ofor and her
husband, Emeka Ofor, turned into a free for all as the bride disrupted
the ceremony.
According to Pulse, the event occurred on the 26th of June 2016, at
the premises of the Umuahia North Local Government Headquarters, Abia
State.
Trouble began after a minor disagreement ensued between families
and friends of the couple when the bride alleged that her village people
were not been served enough food and drinks despite the fact that she
contributed the lion share of the wedding expenses.
Pulse reports that as the man in charge of drinks was trying to
give explanations and at the same time urging the raging bride to keep
it cool, it led to a hot argument between them and Nkechi the bride,
fully dressed in her wedding atire, picked up bottles and started
throwing them at the man.
The noisy scenario attracted the groom, Emeka, who stormed out of
the reception to calm his wife but Nkechi, the groom was reported to
have threatened to stab her newly wedded husband and stab herself if she
is not allowed to have her way.
The groom’s family allegedly stormed the scene angrily throwing
bottles and chairs leading to a free for all fight between the two
families.
It was during the melee, that one Chisom Ofor, said to be a younger
brother of the groom mistook a guest, Chinwendu Ibiam, for a junior
brother of the bride and allegedly stabbed him at the back of the neck.
The victim was reported to have fainted immediately.
A stabbed guest
According to Uche Ibiam, an elder brother of the victim, he and his
junior brother were invited for the wedding by the bride because the
bride is their neighbour at their shop.
He narrated that he “was inside the hall when he started hearing someone shouting stab him, stab him” and
that as he made his way to see what was happening, he claimed to have
seen Chisom, the groom’s younger brother, stabbing his own brother on
the neck and in the process, the victim fainted. Chisom and the rest of
the people, alleged, ran away from the scene.
Uche said he quickly rushed his bloodied brother to a the police
hospital on Bende Road, Umuahia and the matter was reported at the
Central Police Station Umuahia. Nkechi, the bride was invited by the
police to rendered an account of what led to the chaos that engulfed her
wedding reception, but she refused to show up.
Three days later, Nkechi was said to have made a sudden appearance
at the hospital where the victim was undergoing treatment and she
allegedly promised to pay for the victim's medical expenses. Since then,
she never showed up or fulfill her pledge to take responsibilities for
the hospital bills.
The neglect and nonchalant attitude of the couple to the plight of
the victim prompted a legal practitioner, Barr. Anthony Onyenowu of
Victory Chambers, Umuahia, to send a petition to the Commissioner of
Police, Abia State, and thereafter the matter was transfered to the
State CID Umuahia, for proper investigation.
Men of the state police command, on 3rd August 2016, were at Ajata
Ibeku, the hometown of Ofor’s to effect the arrest of Chisom, who
allegedly stabbed Chinwendu. Chisom was said to have stripped himself
n*ked and almost escaped before the police caught up with him.
In the process, youths in the village, wielding cutlasses and other
dangerous weapons allegedly waylaid the police team and rescued Chisom
after inflicting injuries on the policemen. Since then, Chisom Offor
walks a freeman boasting of his invincibility even from law enforcement
agents.
Efforts to get the bride, Mrs. Nkechi Ofor’s side of the story was
impossible as her phone number 07064979345 remained switched off for
days.
