The alleged kidnappers and murderers of a 19-old Edidiong Wilson, have been arrested by police in Akwa-Ibom State.
The Akwa Ibom State Commissioner of Police, Andrew Amiengheme
who paraded the suspects, said the ringleader was the stepmother of the victim, and she conspired with the others to abduct him in Eket.
He said they beat the young man to death, and buried him. They later exhumed his body and cut off his head as they believed they were being haunted by his ghost.

“The suspects buried the deceased in the said bush and later went back to exhume the decomposed body, cut-off his head and buried it separately on the 30 December,2020 at about 7pm on the ground that the ghost was disturbing them. They thereafter fled to Ondo State.”
The principal suspect according to the police boss, confessed that she committed the act because the deceased refused to return the N100,000 she gave to him to keep.
