According to US based Nigerian Journalist, Azuka Jebose, Dr. Okigbo CME is from Ogbe Ofu in Idumuje Ugboko area of Delta State, Nigeria.
“Morning Texas Tragedy: At sunrise this cold Saturday, Dr. Ben Okigbo, a medical doctor in Houston, pulled up a handgun and fatally shot his wife. His wife was a nurse too. A few seconds later he turned the gun on himself.
“These hours their three children are dealing with the tragedy of losing their parents at home. We will never know why Dr. Okigbo, decided to kill his wife and commit suicide thereafter.”
“It’s my understanding that Dr. Okigbo was originally from Ogbe Ofu in Idumuje Ugboko (Same town as Ned Nwoko), while his wife was from Akwukwu Igbo, both towns are in Delta State of Nigeria. This is a developing story.” Azuka wrote.
