A 35-year old man, Mr. Uwem Job, on Wednesday, beheaded two
of his cousins, Mr. Akaninyene Job, 45; and Ezekiel Job, 36 in Ikot Nkim,
Ibesikpo/Asutan Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State. While his two other
cousins – Itoro Job and Ekemini Job – narrowly escaped death as Uwem’s machete
missed their throats, but cut through their hands.
According to Akaninyene’s younger brother, Mr. Ekemini Job, around 8.10am that fateful day, Uwem came to their house and told Akaninyene to come with him, saying that he had something to show him (Akaninyene).
He stated that as Akaninyene opened the curtain to see what Uwem had for him, he (Uwem) hit Akaninyene on the neck with a machete and severed his head from the body.
