The Obi family in Warri, Delta State has been torn apart by a case of murder after its patriarch, Sunday was allegedly killed by his own son,Ikechukwu.
The trouble was said to have started when Mr. Obi, a former staff of Chevron, was served breakfast on May 23, 2014 but instead of water, he was given acid to drink.

His wife, Dora narrated the incident to Vanguard saying that she suspected the victim’s son of murdering his father so that he can inherit the latter’s wealth.
She said:
 “We woke up that morning; and I made his (husband) breakfast before I left for church. While in church, I received an urgent call from his last son, Ikechukwu, that I should come home, that my husband had been rushed to hospital.”
“When I tried to find out what actually happened to him, Ikechukwu said he drank acid. At the General Hospital Warri where he was rushed to, we were referred to Delta State University Teaching Hospital (DSTH), Oghara where the doctors said the case was beyond them. We were again referred to University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) when they could not handle the case. He died four days later at the UBTH and has not been buried.”
“Ikechukwu was the only one at home with him when the incident occurred. I was told that when my husband was eating, he asked for a cup of water and he was served with acid instead of water.”
“I was told that Ikechukwu allegedly confessed that it was one of his siblings who brought the acid, claiming it was drug and that he did not know that it was acid before giving it to his father as water. The motive of the action was probably as a result of his wealth. He did not offend them in any way; they wanted him to die so that they will inherit his wealth”
The victim’s daughter, Esther told her account of what happened when she learnt of her father’s “accident”
“I hurriedly dressed up and, on getting to the hospital; I was dumbfounded on what I saw. Already, my mother and brothers were there and, when I asked what happened to him, Anayo said that it was Ikechukwu that gave him acid to drink and that he had reported the incident to the police at A Division who later came to the hospital to interrogate my father”, she said.
“When the policemen left, I asked my father why he should drink acid, and he said that he asked for water and he was served with acid; he said that he did not know it was acid and that it was Ikechukwu who gave him. I observed that the mouth and chest were burnt.” she added.
 Three suspects, including two sons of the victim, Ikechukwu and Anayo, have reportedly been arrested in connection with the death and investigations are still ongoing.

HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED?

Genesis 32:24-32 I read recently about a man who had passed away and what they wanted the funeral parlor to do with the body. This man was a big Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and this is how the family wanted him remembered. So they told the funeral director that instead of placing his body in a coffin, they wanted the man placed on a recliner, with a television playing Pittsburgh Steelers highlights. Next to him there was to be a table with an open can of beer and a package of cigarettes. This is how his family remembered him, and this is how the family wanted the rest of his friends and loved ones to remember him. This was the lasting impression that was imprinted on the minds of people who knew him. The question I have for you today is a simple one: How do you want people to remember you? One day all of us are going to die, and how would you want people to remember you? Some of us might die soon, and some of us might not die for a while, and we have all heard that statement about lasti...
