Prodigal son, squanders N2 million meant for his father’s burial in Orumba, Anambra state.

A young man, identified as Uchenna Anadumaka, is currently in the police net in Anambra State for reportedly squandering the sum of two million naira (N2,000 000) mapped out for his father’s burial.

The incident happened at Awgbu, Orumba North Local Government Area of the state, where the suspect was also said to have been disowned by his father after they had issue when he was alive. The suspect, born to by his father’s ex-wife, was said to be out of his father’s house since the fallout between two of them, and never cared, visited him, nor contributed a dime throughout the period he (his father) was sick till his death.

According to the Public Relations Officer of the Anambra State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare, Chidinma Ikeanyionwu, immediately after the death of the man, the disowned son stormed from nowhere and started dragging his father’s property with the stepmother (his father’s second wife), Lovina Anadumaka, who was the person taking care of the husband till his death.

To perpetrate his evil, Uchenna was said to have teamed up with his aunt (his father’s younger sister), Chinelo Anadumaka, who returned home after she was divorced by her own husband in Abia State for alleged infidelity. Chinelo was also said to have been subjecting her mother and her late brother’s wife to different kinds of ill treatment since she returned from the failed marriage.
