Police Drags 7 year old Boy to Court in Enugu…What the Boy Did Wrong Will Shock You

Chibuike Miracle Oramalu, a 7-year-old boy, has been
made to appear before a magistrate court in Enugu.
The boy has been dragged to court by the police in
Enugu for alleged murder.
According to The Punch, Chibuike, a primary two pupil
in a nursery and primary school, had on May 29,
accidentally fired a gun, which killed 12-year-old
Oluebube Boniface.
The incident occurred in the Independence Layout area
of Enugu.
The gun belonged to Mr. Edwin Oforma, who employed
Chibuike’s mother as a cleaner and housekeeper in his
house.
Chibuike accidentally fired the shot after discovering the
gun in Oforma’s room while making the bed, as he was
instructed by Chukwunanu, Oforma’s son.
Following the incident, the boy was initially detained by
the police from May 30 till July 13, when he was
released.
Although Chibuike’s mother, Mrs Nwakaego Oramalu,
and her lawyer, Mr. Olu Omotayo, of the Civil Rights
Realisation and Advancement Network, had raised the
alarm over the little boy’s detention, the Enugu State
Police Command claimed he was in “protective
custody”.
However, about two weeks after his release, Chibuike
was on Friday arraigned, before an Enugu magistrate
court over alleged conspiracy and murder.
The owner of the gun which Chibuike accidentally fired,
Oforma, was arraigned alongside the seven-year-old
boy before Magistrate Hillary Asogwa.
In the charge sheet, which was obtained by our
correspondent, Chibuike and Oforma were, in count one,
accused of conspiring among themselves to commit
murder.
