The victims, two girls and a boy, were found dead on Saturday, leaving their family and community in a state of utter devastation.

According to eyewitnesses, the assailants entered the family’s home while the children were eating, killed them, and then placed their bodies inside the freezer. The mother, Chikazor Ejezie, a lecturer and nurse, was away taking an examination, while the father, Ejezie Udochukwu, was also absent, working in Edo State.

Upon returning home, the mother noticed that the door was wide open, which raised her suspicions. A frantic search ensued, and the bodies of the three siblings were discovered in the freezer. The father recounted the ordeal, stating that they initially searched for the children at church before finding their lifeless bodies at home.
