The police has a man named Ekapong in Cross River State for shooting his elder brother to death with a gun and hacking off his head and private parts.



He was arrested last weekend in Epiebi ward, Ekori in Yakkur Local Government Area for shooting his elder brother, Ofrekpe on the farm following a dispute over palm fruits.

“He went to the farm and met our father packing palm fruits which he cut from our family palm trees into a bag and shot him dead”. Alice, daughter of the slain man told newsmen.

She said the father and her uncle have been quarrelling over who should harvest palm fruits on their late father’s plantation. He has been warning my father to stay away from the palm trees or he will deal with h but my father did not take him seriously since the palm trees belong to the family”

She narrated that it was one hunter who heard the gunshot and thought that one of his colleagues had killed an animal and rushed over to share in the game but saw something else that raised alarm.

” Normally, when a gunshot hits its target, the sound is different from the one which missed i’s target so the hunter was attracted by the sound of the gun which he was sure got its target but when he got there it was a different scenario”; She stated.
