From GEOFFREY ANYANWU, Awka U
ncontrollable tears, anguish and curses characterised the burial, yesterday, of the remains of the late Ugochukwu Chukwudi Ozuah, the groom who shot dead in Lagos five days after his wedding, in his country home, Mgbakwu, in Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Thirty-six-year-old Ozuah was said to have been shot dead by policemen when he went to see his friend off at the Anthony Village area of Lagos. During his burial yesterday, the wailing got to the peak when the brown casket bearing his remains was opened for the lying-in-state ceremony at the family house, as men, women and youths refused to be consoled. In the casket, Ugochukwu was dressed in his wedding suit. The wailing relatives of the deceased had freely cursed those who killed Ugochukwu.
The anger and pains of the young man’s death was so much that even the pastors who normally pray for forgiveness and repentance joined in the pray that the killers should meet their doom. Ugochukwu’s pretty widow of five days marriage, Joan and his mother, Deaconess Chinwe Ozuah, were actually in another world as they could not comprehend what befell them. They stood behind the casket looking absent-mindedly at the lifeless body. While the widow, Joan, muttered words amid rushing tears, Ugochukwu’s mother raised her voice saying:
“Ugochukwu, is it you? Where have you been? You left me, why didn’t you wait for me to go first? Your blood will hunt your killers all the days of their lives. Amen.” Before the casket bearing his remains was lowered to the grave at about 11.33am, Rev. Kevin Ohamara of the Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM), Awka had, in his sermon at the funeral service held in the compound by the church, urged the family and all those his death affected to be consoled. Taking his text from Ecclesiastics 7:1-2, the pastor said that though the pains of the family and all were that Ugochukwu was lost at his prime, the consolation should be that he has gone to stay with his maker.
He further said: “Whoever has a hand in the death of Ugochukwu will also go; the only difference is that he has gone ahead of him. Death is an appointment which every human being must keep and Ugo has kept his. God will bring judgment upon those that killed him.” He, therefore, urged the living to prepare their ways so that when death comes knocking, they would not be caught unawares. Speaking to Saturday Sun, Eldest sister of the slain Ugochukwu, Mrs. Nkay Nnonyelu, described the death as shattering.
She said the family was waiting for the report of the committee set up by the Inspector General of Police to investigate the incident, adding that the family wants justice in the matter. The Anambra State Police Commissioner was represented at the burial by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Umunze, Mr. Kingston Irozuru, who led about 30 policemen to ensure that the burial was peaceful.
Also speaking, a community leader from Mgbakwu, Chief Edwin Oraka, said that the entire community has been in deep mourning over the killing of their son and urged government to ensue that the culprits were brought to book.
May his gentle soul rest in the bosom of God Almighty. God alone knows why He allowed that to happen.
However, everything should be done to bring his killers to book and all the necessary punishment meted out to them.
May God give his family members, esp his widowed wife, the fortitude to bear this untoward and irreparable lost.
Dis is so painfu “WAT A GREAT LOST” It’s also a great lesson 2 de living. Let’s watchful, “DE IS ONLY ONE LIFE.”

Though I have been following this case from the beginning but, I,m so much pained and crying while putting this comment. Tears are flowing profusely from my eyes down to my mouth while viewing the lifeless body of Ugo and his kinsmen. My prayer to my God now is for Him to hasty the vengeance committed against Ugo and his family against his killers. That they should not know peace until they received similar treatment. That anybody that knows Ugo,s killers and still continue to concealed the information till date should equally die. I then include their nuclear families because such blood would continue to breed similar murderers in the society.
when will those who are paid to be securing us stop killing us? For what reason will police kill a man when he has not been prosecuted by d court? Or is the man an armed robber?
I pray d government gets to d root of dis matter justly, and allow d law to take its full course. We r talking about human life here not dat of a goat o. And imagine d trauma d family has been forcefully put into.
May God console u our people.

WHAT A PAINFUL STORY. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE
So sad, RIP in peace friend.
how long will it take the police to unravel the perpetrators of this heinous crime and bring them to book? evidences abound to lead them to the trail of the killers. l feel greatly pained about this incident.
Its really very painful while praying GOD to give the family the fortitude to bear the lost. Anybody who is aware of his death in any form must not go unpunished. My dear commentors, please don’t be quick to condeme the Police at least for now. I learnt the IG HAS constituted an inquiry into that incident, wait for the outcome before you banish them. However, Joan take heart, the Almighty GOD will console and comfort you INJ name, amen.

It is pitiable that Nigeria Police is synonymous to both ‘material’ and ‘life’ robbery. The number of persons that have died from most trigger-happy policemen is alarming! I have never been this touched. Visit local vendors where ‘alcohol’, ‘cigarette’ and ‘weed’ are massively sold cheaply, you will know that it is God that is protecting us. A fully armed Policemen will drink to the extent that they don’t even know themselves again yet still with harms. In this situation, what you expect, other than pulling the trigger at any slightest provocation which ends up killing the actor or those who knew nothing. The Police is one of the problem of this country.
His killing was sponsored, let the Nigerian police cary do a professional investigation, am sure d killers will be exposed by d grace of God. It’s just a pity. may his soul and souls of all d faithful departed through d mercy of God rest in peace amen.
Justice must be don
Rest in peace my big bro. Ur killer must be killed by God.
Who is de killer, only God knows man lik him, RIP
it’s hurt a-lot brethren, but it time we join hands together to pray for the true judgement of our Lord God cause him only can do this.
Am short of words,God console them on this tragic event.that is unbearable.
IT’S VERY PAINFUL. MAY GOD GRANT D FAMILY FORTITUDE TO BEAR IT. GOD WILL SURELY PURNISH D WICKED
Cnt d Nation’s judicial system ever rise up 2 such matter? Wat a shame on these animals on black n black. RIP dear friend
one certain thing about life is that God will surely bring the killers to justice in away that will give God glory.Rest in peace,Ugo.
My heart felt sympathy 2d family of Ugo ,especialy d wife whose joy wz turned 2sorrow suddenly…may God give them d fortitude 2bear d unfortunate loss..

THE WICKED SHALL NEVER GO UNPUNISHED, SAYS THE HOLY BIBLE. I know that our God never changes. Neither does his words. May the charismatic soul of Ugoo rest in perfect peace. May The Almighty God console his heart broken wife – Amen.
So sad may your soul rest in peace.
Nigerian Police should be sanitazed. What a shame that the police should be killing the people they are meant to protect. We are better off without them. Adieu Ugo.
My be the girl is police girl friend. Ugo don’t known. We use to say if keep money or keep woman ask police take one police will take woman leave money. May His soul Rip Amen
This Nigeria police force needs re-education that they are meant to protect life and not kill life,in this case d purpose of d police force has been defeated
I noticed the Ig squared did not even investigate to fish out the killer…Nigeria is too behind, That no camaras in the street
I fil de pains ugochukwus family is passing through, is a pain 2 al of us. Bt my pray is dat God wil gv us de courage 2 bear dis lost & also pray dt God who see in secret should jourge wht happend in secret.
Anybody that involve in this young man death, Almighty GOD, help disgrace him, not only him, with those that know the truth and are hiding it. To the wife of the deceased! Take heart, God will console u, family, God will give u fortify to bear the loss. This is a national loss
MOTHER, WIFE, SISTER AND BROTHER OF LATE UGOCHUKWU PLS TAKE HEART
R. I. P God will fight ur course
This is so painful, I followed this case up till now but to my greatest surprise, the police upon the special committe set up by the IG to uncover the killers of Ugoo nothing was done. The policeman who shot Ugoo is somewhere enjoying with his family without knowing that nothing can be hiding under the face of the earth. UGOO MAY YOUR SOUL RIP!!!
GOD pls act as the masses demand. Is soooooo painful
that is another sign of failed nation. that can never happen here in UK. Nigeria is a failed nation
It’s apointd unto man to die once! but woe unto him dat cause his death.except he repent and restitution made…
Ugo may ur soul rest in d bosom of our lord jesus christ Amen.and may ur wife b consoled by our heavenly father,take heart,al d enteir family of ugo
Death, how does it occur or how does it come ? what or who caused it to happen ? Why or did our loving God allow one to die ? who is he or she that suppose to die ? Will I die ? What of you ? How are you or I, going to die ? natural or by what means ? your may be right with your answer; but you are not owner of yourself. The owner (God),even Him alone knows. pls read isaiah 57:1 for better understanding. I pray for you not to see untimely death in Jesus name. prepare to meet your God . God bless you.
R.i.p big bro.Ur killers must not go unpurnished
May God grant the family furtitude to bear the lost.and may his soul rest in peace.
The Nigerian Police Community should be scrutinised to ensure that graduates are recruited into the Nigeria police. People that knows the value for life. For the family, i know it is very painful more especially to the wife, but God knows why he allowed that, so put your trust in the Lord, RIP Ugo
Its a pity. May his gentle soul rest in peace, Amen.
R I P UGO
I don’t know this family but the pain of this young man’s death is quite touching. Why? Because it could be anybody. I pray to the good Lord for the wife and the families, to have the fortitude to bear this unbearable loss. Hopefully, God and time will surely heal the deep cut in everybody’s heart. And for the killer(s)….you have suddenly let a young man’s spirit loose on the surface of the earth, seeking a veageance for a life cut short. Go to the authority and confess your sins and allow yourself(selves) to be punished by the law of the land. OTHERWISE, I will leave you with the words of Shakespare, “Macbeth has murdered sleep, and therefore Macbeth will sleep no more.”. If you understand what that means.
It. Seems it’s all a dream cos it’s hard to believe that u who partied with us at ur wedding are really & truly gone. My prayer is that the same fate that befall u meets ur killers & with twice as much pain & sorrow ur family is going through. Adieu Ugo! My man catcher friend & brother rest in peace! Forever in our hearts!
Call Nigerian police that there is robbery going on somewhere. They will say there is no fuel in their vehicles. Even no bullet in their guns. But they always have bullet when comes to killing innocent and harmless civilians. If you see them arresting parading suspects, know that one of them is killed. May God punish you for your evil acts. Killers in uniform
Sad news, what is happening in this country is full of mystery.I don’t know if it is fake policemen that killed Ugochukwu or Nigerian policemen, all i know is that God will punish those that killed him.may God grant Ugo’s family to bear the irreparable loss.Ugo(R I P)
at least 100 pics of nigeria police should have kill theirselves instead of causing perpetual sorow in dis family.
It is a pity, i pray dat d good lord will giv dis family a great heart to bear this lose.
