It is a period of severe pain and agony for Mr. Christopher Obianefo Igbokwe of Okpunoeze Uruagu, Nnewi, in Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, as yet-to-be-identified individuals poured acid on him.

The victim, whom has been identified as a kinsman to Chief Joe Igbokwe, the Special Adviser on Drainage and Water Resources to the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

According to video currently trending on the social media, the victim was colossally affected by the acid, as he can no longer see with any of his eyes at the moment.

The video also shows the victim lying at the Nnewi Diocesan Hospital, Akwudo in Otolo Nnewi, where treatment was being administered to him amidst severe pains.

Although, information about the acid bath and the circumstances surrounding the attack are still sketchy at the moment, it was gathered that Mr. Igbokwe was attacked on Friday evening by his
step siblings who specifically targeted his face with the acid. The suspects were also said to be on the run currently.

“The matter is also being handled by state CID, Awka, according to the report we got and that the culprits are on the run,” a source said.

This reporter, Izunna Okafor, made efforts to get the reactions of the Spokesperson of the Anambra State Police Command, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, on the incident, but all to no avail, as he did not pick his call or respond to his message.

More details later...

Omg! This is outrageous! Why would they do such abominable thing to thier own blood? Tufiakwa!

Maybe na pepper🌶️🌶️ water dem pour
for am & him panic think say na acid.

Acid will peel your skin like Plantain.

It wasn't an acid bath. If it was an acid, his face would be completely disfigured

H2SO4, HCL, HNO3, HF.... For sure it's neither any of these

Wetin this poor man do them ehn?

Very misleading post.
That his name is Igbokwe doesn't mean he's Joe Igbokwe's brother.Igbokwe is a popular name across Ala igbo from Aro ,Abia State down to Ezra ,Ebonyi state..
2ndly, you first reported the perpetrators were unknown but in the 6th paragraph it's now his step siblings.
Then again an Acid and the face is intact?Check yourself well.You are trying to stoke embers of hatred on some ppl.
Nawaooo

Ethnic baiting…..Thread title was intended to sensationalise the incident.

“Youths attacked Joe Igbokwe’s kinsman” while the story says that it was his step siblings that attacked him.

This is siblings fight over some family related issues….assuming this is true.

Why tag Joe Igbokwe and also mention ‘angry youths’ part?

Anything step siblings can never end well. There will always be hatred, it's only a matter of time.

Confusing story

Misleading headline. Family issues or something else but never political

Rucheen:
H2SO4, HCL, HNO3, HF.... For sure it's neither any of these

Any of the above go condemn everywhere. Perhaps nah pepper them pour

Must be diluted acid. Pour acid for handkerchief. Talkless of face. Na hot sprite dem pour .no be acid
