In Cross River State, a guy has been detained by the police for fatally shooting and dismembering his older brother with a gun.

After a disagreement over some palm fruits, the guy identified as Ekapong shot his older brother, Ofrekpe, on the family farm in the state’s Epiebi ward, Ekori in Yakkur Local Government Area.

The victim’s daughter, Alice, spoke to Vanguard about her father’s murder. “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,” she said.

“He has been warning my father to stay away from the palm trees or he would deal with him but my father did not take him seriously, since the palm trees belong to the family,” she said.

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

She said when the hunter saw her uncle covered in blood, he was excited and rushed to open the bag which was beside him only to see a human head and private parts.

She said other people in the surrounding farms and bushes rushed to the scene following the hunter’s shout for help and that was how the man was apprehended.

Irene Ugbo, the Cross River Police Command spokesperson, said the man was in police custody and the investigation is ongoing.
