A farmer identified as Ngbede Omale has confessed to Benue
State Police Command how he secretly killed his friend, Agabaidu Omale and
buried him in a shallow grave. He said they had a heated argument in the farm
which resulted into a fight.
"I just gave him a little push and he fell down and before I
knew it, he was dead. I tried to resuscitate him but to no avail. I didn’t know
what to do and there was nobody around. So, I quickly dug a shallow grave and
buried him there."
He said he didn’t intend to kill his friend. However, when
it was announced in the village that Agabaidu was missing, Ngbede kept sealed
lips for over eight months until hunters one day discovered his skeleton in the
shallow grave where he had been buried.
"I did not intend to kill him. I did not know that he would die. In fact, as soon as I buried him, I came home and confided in one of my cousins after which I ran away from the village. I did not know that my sin would still find me out. I am sorry."
Commissioner of Police in the state, Dibal Yakadi said the bubble burst when the mother of the deceased insisted his son was last seen with Ngbede and a manhunt was launched to nab him. Yakadi said during investigation, Ngbede who was later found and arrested at a village in Kwara State, confessed to the crime adding that he would soon be charged to court when investigation is completed.
