Cross River traditional leaders invoke deadly curse on murderers

Traditional leaders in Odukpani Local Government Area have placed a “deadly curse” on murderers and their collaborators, vowing that anyone with blood-stained hands will not survive in their communities.
The injunction followed the brutal killing of two residents last month in Akai Ibonda and Ukim Ita communities.
The victims, Okon Bassey and Okon Akpan Eshiet, were allegedly butchered by suspected cultists, with their dismembered bodies dumped in shallow graves.
Suspect Akaninyene Eshiet and others are in custody, and one of the suspects, Akaninyene, told police investigators the murders were in revenge for his parents and brothers who died years ago.
