The Cross River State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hafiz Inuwa, stated this in Calabar while addressing journalists.
Inuwa
said the suspect was arrested on May 13, 2017 following a tip-off by
one John Bassey, adding that he had confessed to the crime and would
soon be charged to court.
He said: “On May 13, 2017, at about 1500
hours, one John Bassey (male) of Ikot-Okpora village in Biase LGA
reported to the Divisional Police headquarters in Akpet Central that one
of his tenants, Okon Ubem, went to farm where he murdered his wife, Eka
Imaobong, and her eight year-old son, Godswill.
“The suspect confessed to the crime and will be arraigned in court soon,”
Meanwhile, Ubem said he killed his wife because she allegedly stole his N40,000.
He also admitted that he murdered the stepson because the eight year-old boy insulted him.
Ubem, who did not show remorse for the dastardly act, said he murdered the wife after making love to her in the bush.
“She
stole my N40,000. So, I went to meet her in the farm and killed her.
Yes, I made love to her before killing her. I also killed the stepson
because he abused me,” he said. (DailyPost)
