Posted on December 25, 2022 By Admin No Comments on CHRISTMAS DAY TRAGEDY: Man In Police Net Over Corpse Dumped In Toilet

Ikot Offiong Ambai community, in Akpabuyo Local Government Area, Cross River State is still in shock following the Christmas Day discovery of the body of one Harmony Edemawan, a female, allegedly kidnapped, killed and dumped inside a septic tank.

The Cross River State Police Command had while investigating a reported case of kidnapping arrested a 49 year old Eyo Etim Bassey who turned out to be the suspect for allegedly masterminding the killing of the deceased over a debt the suspect was owing the deceased.

Acting on intelligence gathered, the police stormed the suspect’s residence, conducted a thorough search and found the victim’s corpse in the suspect’s septic tank, suspectedly left there since Thursday.

Confirming the incident, Cross River State Commissioner of Police, Sule Balarabe, said they have a suspect in custody in connection with the kidnap of a middle aged lady whose remains were later discovered in a septic tank . “The Suspect had earlier given false information that the victim sold his property amounting to about N9 million naira and didn’t want to remit same amount back to him. So he contacted some persons to abduct her in a bid to recover the money, and then she was killed and dumped inside the septic tank.”

“We have recovered her body from the septic tank and deposited same at the mortuary while further investigation is ongoing to unravel the mystery and also arrest other accomplices involved.

Sources maintained that the suspect, Etim Bassey, borrowed about N1.2 million naira from the victim, a Lafarge staff. The loan was help, to support the suspect’s palm oil business and was given to him in tranches. One year after, the suspect was unable to make the refund. The deceased, eager to have the debt refunded so she can forward same to where she borrowed the money from, met a brickwall.

“It’s about a year and my sister needed to return the money he borrowed back from where she got it , because it’s not her own , but the suspect refused instead he turned the whole thing around claiming he gave my sister a house document to sell , and my sister absconded with the proceeds of 9 million. I saw my sister on Wednesday, 21st December, 2022, then on Thursday we spoke over the phone, but she told me she was in the bathroom promising to call me back, I never heard from her again until, the shocking news of her death on Christmas day,” one family source said.
