Yesterday, 22-year-old Ndifreke Joseph Clement handed himself over to
the police in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, and confessed to killing his
cousin, Ubong Edet who allegedly raped his girlfriend.
In his statement, Clement recounted how he had returned home one evening, knocked on the door of his one-room apartment, only for his girlfriend to step out with bruises and a bleeding nose and say that Edet, who lived with him, forcefully had sex with her. When Edet returned very late that night, a fight ensued between the two men.
“When I asked him why he did what he did to my girlfriend, he started punching me and I retaliated,” Clement said, “We fought for a very long time before I could subdue him. I then picked my cow-butchering knife and cut his throat, carried his dead body and dumped it in the bush very close to the house and threw the knife into the pit toilet.”
“I have brought myself to the police even when nobody knew that I killed him. I have come to plead for forgiveness because since I killed my cousin, I no longer have peace of mind. I am always disturbed in my mind and dream.”
