While parading the suspect at his temple in a village called Ezuru Umuagwu in Oguta Local Government area of Imo state, the Imo state commissioner of Police Mohammed Katsina said preliminary investigations revealed that instead of burying the mother the normal way, Mr Osigweh kept the embalmed body of Mrs Lucy Osigweh in his temple for ritual purposes where he and other members of his sect used to hold secret nocturnal meetings to enhance their occultic powers.
Mr Chimezie Osigweh was identified as a retired principal of Community secondary school, Awa, in Oguta Local government area of Imo state and a strong member of the Guru Maharaji sect. He was arrested alongside 2 other worshipers at his temple where he kept the embalmed corpse of his late Mother. Osigweh who confessed to be a Guru Maharaji member for 24years denied that he intentionally killed his mother.
He however refused to disclose why he kept the mother's embalmed corpse in the cupboard for 10 years
The Imo state Police commissioner Mohammed Katsina while speaking to journalists said the Command has started making further investigations into the case and will ensure that they unravel every mystery behind it to the public as soon as they get more information. In the meantime, the suspect will remain in the police custody and if found guilty, will be charged for first class murder.
