A 35-year-old man from Ikot-Okpora village in Biase Local Government Area of Cross River State, Okon Ubem, has allegedly killed his eight year old stepson identified as Godswill and his wife, Eka Imaobong, after having sex with her in the farm.
The Cross River State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hafiz Inuwa, disclosed this in Calabar while addressing journalists.
Inuwa said the suspect was arrested on April 28, 2026 following a tip-off by one John Bassey, adding that he had confessed to the crime and would soon be charged to court.
His words;
“On April 28, 2026, at about 3pm, 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.”
When interviewed, the suspect alleged that he killed his wife because she stole his N250,000.
He admitted that he murdered the stepson because the eight year-old boy insulted him.
Ubem, who did not show remorse for the wicked act, said he murdered the wife after making love to her in the bush.
