There was chaos in Umueze village, Enugu Achi in Oji River Local Government Area of Enugu State, when a teenager, Ebubechukwu Odika, sent his younger brother to untimely grave in a bid to act a Nollywood scene.
It was gathered that the 14-year-old boy used his father’s gun to kill his younger brother, Akachukwu Odika, aged 3.
The ugly incident reportedly happened when the duo were playing a movie scene with the gun not knowing that it was loaded with bullets.
Spokesman of police in Enugu State, DSP Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the incident, said that as soon as Ebubechukwu pulled the trigger, the bullet landed on Akachukwu’s waiting head, killing him instantly.

Meanwhile, investigations into the tragic incident have commenced in full scale and operatives of the state criminal intelligence and investigations Department of the Enugu state command promises to look into the matter.
