killer-father

On Monday, disaster struck at Ekpri Ikot Ene community, Akpabuyo Local Government Area, Cross River State, when an enraged 23-year-old son butchered his father, who is the village head, HRH Francis Ekpo Ene, and dumped his remains inside the family’s pit toilet for persistently accusing him of stealing his money without facts.

According to the report by Vanguard, the killer-son (Francis Ekpo Jnr.) supposedly acted under a powerful and diabolical influence, as he was not known to be a violent person before the sacrilegious incident.

The wife of the deceased, Affiong Offiong Asuquo, said:

“The problem started when my husband’s money started missing and he had always thought that it was his first son, who was responsible for the theft, not knowing that he was not the person involved, and he had always denied being the one.

The height was when he sold his oil and kept N90,000 in a milk can and the money got missing again, he was really angry because he could not fathom why such an amount of money could get missing in his house.”

She confided in Vanguard that the money was actually being stolen by their daughter, who after her escapade, disappeared to her boyfriend’s place and returned after they exhausted the cash, pretending as she knew nothing and the late villager head would rail accusations on the epileptic son.

She said the boy had always said:

“One day; I will slaughter you and throw you inside the toilet for accusing me wrongly.’ All these came to pass that night as the father started shouting at him to provide the money he took from his room, the boy got angry and picked up a cutlass and killed him.”

A community leader observed that the incident was not ordinary because Francis Jnr was not known to be violent.

One of the elders also alleged that it’s a traditional coup as there were some forces that did not like Ekpo’s emergence as the village head.

  2. Typical. Many parents know the Bible verse that says children should honour and respect their parents but they do not know the verse that says parents, do not provoke your children to anger.
    Same way men know the verses that requires wives to be submissive but they do not know the verses that says husband should love and honour their wives.
    Those of you calling God to punish him, has God punished you for your own sins yet?

    • The comment you typed, does it look like the type of thing your Jesus preached?
      Your kids would do same to you and more if you provoke then to anger. Pray for wisdom in raising your kids if not they burn you down in your bed. The very beds upon which you made them.
      Sad the man died. What more can I say? Reading between the lines, his father was victimizing him due to his condition. Only God knows how far it has gone. A frustrated man can only take so much. This is the result of poor judgement. Solomon was not stupid when he asked God for wisdom. Wisdom creates, it protects, it guides and gives peace. Wisdom is ultimate. You have a chance to do differently. Learn from what has happened. I am not his judge. I am not their God. I leave the offence or result of that act to God. I am not equipped or put in that office. But I can learn from it. And so have I. What did it teach you sirs?

  3. anybody who says thou shall not judge in dis matter is de most useless person on earth,,what is there to judge?take dat useless son and do a jungle justice,,no matter what de father might have done to him ,,he should not even reply in abusive way talk more of hiting his own father,,do people lack sense or what??I’ll rather kill my self than abuse my father not to talk of hitting him,,,support evil and die young
