CALABAR— ONE Abraham Bepeh of Betukwel community in Obubu Local
Government Area of Cross River State, has been arrested by the police
for allegedly killing his friend identified as Richard Beshel Mashok
with whom he had been having a running battle over a lover, Miss Anna
Ushie.
Abraham is now with the State Criminal Investigation Department,
SCID, at the Police Headquarters, Diamond Hill in Calabar, where the
Officer-in-Charge of homicide, Mr. Joseph Inuyashe, said he was to
explain why he killed the deceased.
According to the police, “during interrogation, Abraham described
his victim as ‘my close friend’, alleging that ‘Richard was the first
who attempted to eliminate me over the girl both of us are in love
with, Miss Anna Ushie, a student of Immaculate (Annunciation) Secondary
School, Ohong’.”
To convince the Police, Abraham who displayed some scars on his neck,
legs, hands and chest alleged he had a lingering face-off with
Richard, whom he said regularly inflicted him with machete cuts.
Abraham dropped out of school at JSS3 because of cult activities,
while the deceased was said to have recently graduated with a degree in
Education and was attached to Immaculate (Annunciation) Secondary School
Ohong, Obudu as a teacher.
Reports have it that Richard hailed from Betukwel village, a nearby community to the Ohong village where Abraham hails from.
On the day of the incident, Richard was said to have left a barbing
salon and was taking his clothes to a dry-cleaner when he ran into
Abraham who accosted him, saying they should finish what they had
started some weeks back.
A fight was said to have ensued and Abraham reportedly brought out a
dagger and stabbed the deceased on his neck and took to his heels but
some boys went after him and caught him.
Efforts to save Richard’s life failed as he died before reaching the
Obubu General Hospital where he was rushed to for medical attention.
Abraham who spoke with Vanguard in his confinement said “the boy was a
secret cult member. He was initiated into Vikings in 2002, long before I
was initiated.
“We used to fight ourselves because of one girlfriend we were sharing
and I told him that since he had seized Anna from me, let him leave me
alone but he would not.
“Whenever we came across each other , he would ask me if I was
coming to attack him, opening his shirt to show me a locally made pistle
concealed in his trousers”.
Abraham whose father is a pastor lamented that his Clergy father
always advised him to give his life to Christ and avoid nefarious acts,
but he did not listen as he wanted to move with modern trend, to be seen
as a ‘hard gay’.
The Cross River State Police Command spokesman, DSP John Imoh said
the police was going to carry out detailed investigation into the case,
as the suspect has mentioned other members of his cult group that the
police must go after.
