In a shocking incident that has rocked the quiet Nise Community of Awka South Local Government Area, Anambra State, three young brothers were discovered deceased inside their family compound last Saturday, sending waves of grief through the local community.
The victims, aged between two and six years old, were found in their father’s parked car under devastating circumstances.
Initial reports indicate the children were discovered bound and unresponsive, in what authorities are treating as a targeted attack.
According to local sources, an unknown assailant allegedly gained access to the family compound by scaling the perimeter walls.
The perpetrator managed to enter and exit the premises undetected, leaving behind a scene that has left investigators and community members searching for answers.
The children’s father, described as a businessman and traditional healer in his early thirties, routinely secured his children inside the compound while he and their mother attended to their business operations, returning periodically to provide meals.
The family’s identity is currently being withheld by authorities.
The father, whose identity has not been disclosed, was said to have been involved in disputes with unidentified individuals.
However, it remains unclear whether these conflicts directly contributed to the deaths of his three children.
The authorities have been notified about the incident.
