A 41-year-old man, King Akpanke, has been arrested by the
police in Cross River State for allegedly killing his stepmother’s lover for
having sex with her in his late father’s house.
Akpanke, who confessed to committing the crime at the police
headquarters in Calabar, said before the incident he had on several occasion
warned the deceased against coming to his late father’s house to have sex with
his stepmother.
This came just as the command also paraded 14 suspected
cultists belonging to a cult group identified as Skylo.
Speaking with Punch Metro on the incident leading to the
death of the deceased, whose identity was not disclosed, Akpanke said he acted
in self-defence.
He said, “On that day, he came to my house around 9am to
abuse me. There was nobody in the house. The house belongs to my late father
and I am the third son. So, when he started abusing me, we fought. He brought a
stick, but I went inside and took a knife and stabbed him in the head.
“I later discovered that he had died. It was a mistake. The
young man was having regular sex with my late father’s wife. I warned him
several times to stay off the house, but he refused. He was always in our house
to have sex with her. He called me all sorts of names. He planned to kill me.”
