A shocking incident occurred over the weekend in Olum community, Boki Local Government Area of Cross River State, as a young man, identified as Emmanuel reportedly murdered his friend, Akwande, with a machete while working on a farm land.
According to Vanguard, an eyewitness, one, Patrick Osang, reported that three of them went to the farm to work before Emmanuel killed his friend, for a yet unknown reason.
He said, “After the work, Emmanuel brought out his pawpaw and was eating while Akwande was sucking oranges. I left the two of them and went to cut palm fruits.
“I did not hear any quarrel or exchange of words but when I went back I saw Akwande lying in a pool of blood with a deep cut on his neck. I asked Emmanuel what happened but he did not say anything but went ahead to attack me with his machete.
“We fought with our knives but his knife could not penetrate my body neither did mine enter his because of the charms both of us have. But I overpowered him and dragged him to the village.
“We are friends from Obudu and came to Boki to work for daily pay. We have been living peacefully until Saturday afternoon when Emmanuel killed Akwande.”
