The lifeless bodies of two brothers, identified as Onyema and Nonso, were found inside the booth of their Toyota Corolla, along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, close to Tempo Mills, Umunya, Anambra State.
According to the reports, the brothers, identified as Onyema and Nonso, were believed to have been murdered while on their way home after attending a church program along Oguta Road, near Upper Iweka, Onitsha.
Before the gory video of the bodies inside the trunk made the rounds on WhatsApp on Sunday, Jan. 28, most people thought they were the bodies of a husband and wife. But it was later confirmed to be the bodies of the two brothers.
According to a cleric, Venerable Emmanuel Onovo, the deceased were brothers who were members of the Anglican Communion in the state.
Onovo, based in Aguleri, stated this in a post he made on his Facebook page.
He wrote, “They are my two sons from the Anglican Children’s Ministry in Omogba, Onitsha, years ago. I called their parents yesterday to offer them prayers.”
It is not clear why the brothers were murdered, but there are speculations that they were victims of a kidnapping attempt.
The deaths of the brothers have caused panic in the area.
