Abduction: Father of slain Anambra lawyer slumps, dies

Family sources said Oguejiofor’s father was in stable health condition until last Saturday when he collapsed and died suddenly shortly after receiving the devastating news that his son had been murdered by the kidnappers.

“The man was healthy while his son was in captivity but the trauma from Jude’s abduction proved too much for him to bear after we were informed of his death,” a family member noted.
