With deep sorrow and a heavy heart, the family of Mr. S. Ejezie Udochukwu from Umucheke, Umueze, Uga Aguata Local Government Area, is left grappling with a devastating tragedy. It is with deep pain that we announce the deliberate and brutal murder of our beloved children:
- Ejezie Chikaima Daviana, a 9-year-old girl
- Ejezie Chimdirim David, a 5-year-old boy
- Ejezie Chimziterem Dominica, an 8-year-old girl
On Saturday, February 1, 2025, an unthinkable tragedy occurred that has left our family reeling in shock and disbelief. What began as a regular day for this close-knit family turned into a nightmare that no one could have foreseen. Their mother, who had gone to take an important exam that day, returned home with high hopes of reuniting with her children. Little did she know that what awaited her would shatter her world forever.
As she entered her home, she immediately noticed something was wrong. The house felt eerily quiet, and the usual bustling energy that filled the home with the sounds of children’s laughter and play was missing. Her heart sank as she called out for her children, but there was no response. A cold chill crept over her as she searched every room in the house, hoping for a sign that everything was alright.
Her mind raced as she tried to piece together the events of the day. She remembered her children had been excited earlier that morning. Chikaima, Chimdirim, and Chimziterem had been preparing for church, where they served faithfully as altar servers. They had always been diligent, respectful, and eager to help out at church. The thought of them not being there was unsettling. She called their names again, but there was no answer.
Desperately, she rushed to the church, hoping that perhaps they had gone ahead without her, or maybe they had stayed behind with someone. But as she reached the church, she was met with confusion. The priest and fellow parishioners had not seen the children either. They were nowhere to be found. Panic began to set in. What could have happened? Where were they? Was it possible that they had wandered off, or was there something more sinister at play?
Her thoughts raced, and she knew that something was terribly wrong. The hours dragged on as she frantically searched, calling friends and family, and asking everyone she could think of if they had seen the children. No one had. And then, just when she thought things could not get worse, the unthinkable happened.
It was a few hours later that the children’s lifeless bodies were discovered in the family’s refrigerator. The scene that unfolded was beyond anyone’s comprehension. How could something so horrific happen to innocent children who had always been loved, protected, and cherished? How could anyone have the heart to commit such a cruel act?
Upon discovering the bodies, the authorities were immediately informed. Investigations began swiftly, and while many questions remain unanswered, initial findings suggest that the children had been killed and then callously discarded inside the deep freezer in their home. The cold, heartless nature of this crime has left the community in utter disbelief. How could someone, anyone, be capable of such an act of violence and cruelty?
The grief experienced by the family is indescribable. It is a pain that no parent should ever have to endure—the loss of their children in such a violent and senseless manner. The community has been shaken to its core, as many struggle to understand how something so tragic could happen in a place that was once considered safe.
Mr. Ejezie Udochukwu, the father of the children, works in Edo State and was not present at the time of the incident. He has been left shattered by the news of his children’s deaths. He was informed by his wife, who could barely speak through the shock and heartbreak. The two of them, though separated by distance, had always kept their family close. Their children were their joy, their future, and the light of their lives. To lose them in such an unimaginable way has left them both in deep mourning.
As the family comes to terms with this devastating loss, they are confronted not only with the pain of their grief but with the need to understand why this happened and who could be responsible for such a heinous act. The community has rallied behind them, offering prayers, support, and condolences, but no amount of sympathy can bring back the innocent lives that were taken so violently.
The loss of Ejezie Chikaima Daviana, Ejezie Chimdirim David, and Ejezie Chimziterem Dominica has left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew them. These children were not just family; they were friends, neighbors, and active members of the church. Their enthusiasm and love for life had touched many, and their absence is deeply felt by all who were fortunate enough to know them.
As the authorities continue their investigation, the family is left waiting for answers. Who would commit such a crime? What could have possibly motivated someone to take the lives of three innocent children? These are questions that haunt the family and the community, as they await justice for the lives that were taken so cruelly.
In the midst of this devastation, the family is trying to find solace in their faith and in the support of their community. Though they are devastated by this loss, they know that they are not alone. The outpouring of support has been overwhelming, and they are grateful for the thoughts and prayers of everyone who has reached out to them during this dark time.
As the family begins to prepare for the burial of their beloved children, they ask for continued prayers and strength. The pain of losing them is unbearable, but they take comfort in knowing that their children are now in the arms of God, free from the suffering and pain of this world.
The family has made the difficult decision to announce the burial arrangements soon, once they are able to make the necessary preparations. While the exact details are still being finalized, the family hopes that the community will come together to honor the lives of these precious children, whose lives were taken far too soon.
In the coming days, as the family faces the difficult journey of laying their children to rest, they ask for privacy and respect as they navigate this heartbreaking time. Their grief is profound, and they will need all the strength they can muster to carry on in the face of such overwhelming loss.
The family would like to thank everyone who has reached out to them with love, prayers, and support during this incredibly difficult time. The loss of three young lives is something that no parent should ever have to endure, and the community’s response has been a source of comfort in the face of this tragedy.
As the investigation continues, the family remains hopeful that the authorities will uncover the truth behind this senseless act of violence and bring those responsible to justice. Until then, the family holds onto their memories of their children—memories of laughter, love, and the warmth that they brought into the world.
May Ejezie Chikaima Daviana, Ejezie Chimdirim David, and Ejezie Chimziterem Dominica rest in peace. Their lives were short, but they were filled with love, joy, and innocence. We will always remember them for the light they brought into our lives, and we will honor their memory forever.
Thank you once again for your prayers, understanding, and support. Your kindness is a small comfort in the midst of this unimaginable grief.
Ejezie Udochukwu Samuel, on behalf of the family.
