A 39-year-old Ireland-based Nigerian, Brian Ogbo, has been sentenced to three and a half years’ imprisonment for killing his 82-year-old grandmother, Stella Nnadi, during what an Irish court described as a severe psychotic episode.
PUNCH Metro learnt on Sunday from a report by the Irish Mirror that Ogbo was sentenced by the Cork Circuit Criminal Court after previously pleading guilty to the manslaughter of his grandmother at the family home in Carrigaline, County Cork, on February 23, 2025.
The report stated that Ogbo had relocated from Nigeria to Ireland in December 2024 to reunite with his mother, Ruby Ogbo, and his grandmother.
The report noted that the court heard that Ruby, a social worker, had made repeated efforts to secure anti-psychotic medication for her son, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2017.
It noted that Ogbo had missed two monthly injections while his mother struggled to navigate Ireland’s mental health system.
