TWO sisters (names withheld) have been detained by the Police in 
Calabar, Cross River State for allegedly hacking their eldest brother, 
Kokoette Effiom Effiong, to death. 
 
The two were alleged to have attacked Kokoette with sticks and 
machetes in a fight which ensued following disagreement over the sharing
 of proceeds from the sale of their late father’s land at Akpabuyo.

The incident which happened, weekend, at Ikot Nakanda, according to a
 family source,  left the deceased with  deep machete cuts in the head 
inflicted by the two sisters which led to his death.

“The man had deep cuts in the head and arm inflicted by Idak and Ikwo
 during a fight in the bush behind our house,” Otop Idebe, Kokoette’s 
cousin said.

“They claimed  that their brother had made so much money  from the 
sale of their father’s land while they were away and so when another 
parcel was sold they demanded that the money be shared equally among all
 the surviving children and when their brother objected, they were not 
happy which led to the fight.”

However, Idak one of the suspects, told Vanguard:  “On  that fateful 
day, we were told that Kokoete gave the names of three of us, including 
one of our siblings, Efangha, to a native doctor for money rituals.

“So when he came to our kitchen to cook cocoyam, we warned him not to
 use our kitchen again because we did not like sharing a kitchen with 
any man, besides that he sold our father’s land and had the gut to keep 
the money to himself without giving us our  share.” 
 
Giving a graphic account of how the man was killed, she said: “Kokoette 
insisted on using the kitchen and  a quarrel ensued and while still 
exchanging  words, Kokoette went to the toilet in the  bush behind the 
compound and  Ikwo  followed him with a big stick and a machete. After a
 short while, I heard Kokoette screaming, so I ran to the place to stop 
 them only to see Ikwo using the machete on him.”

Ikwo, in her statement to the police, said something different, 
noting  that it was the deceased that trailed her  to the bush, where 
she went to stool and they started a fight.

The suspects were arrested by the police in Ikot Nakanda in Akpabuyo 
and  transferred to the state Criminal Investigation Department (CID), 
Diamond Hill in Calabar.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr. John Imoh 
(DSP) said they would be  charged to court after the police had 
concluded investigation on the matter.
