There was commotion on Friday in Gbarain community of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State after a man allegedly ordered the killing of two persons to avenge the murder of his son, Ebibofa.
Sunday Tribune’s investigation revealed that Ibibi, who was enraged over the killing of his son for failing to hand over proceeds from the sale of stolen drums, allegedly hired some unidentified youths to kill two young men identified as Delta and Solomon Emmanuel who were said to have stabbed Ebibofa to death.
A source informed Sunday Tribune that prior to the incident, the three deceased persons were close friends, but trouble ensued when three of them allegedly conspired to steal empty drums, which were subsequently handed over to Ebibofa to sell and bring the proceeds for sharing.
“However, after Ebibofa had sold the drums, he allegedly refused to share the proceeds with his friends, a development, which angered Delta and Emmanuel, hence plot to kill Ebibofa,” the source claimed.
Oblivious of the fact that death was lurking around, Sunday Tribune gathered that Ebibofa was lured by his two aggrieved friends to a nearby bush where he was tied to a tree and stabbed to death.
When he got wind of the news of his son’s death, Ibibi allegedly assembled some youths to search for Delta and Emmanuel.
“Ibibi recruited some youths who went in search of the accused persons. They found them and brought them to him but he ordered the mob to stab them to death. One of the boys died on the spot, but the other one later gave up the ghost,” the source said.
Residents of Gbarain community invited the police to arrest Ibibi, who after interrogation at Ammasoma police station, confessed that he ordered the execution of the two boys to avenge the killing of his son.
The Bayelsa State Police Public Relations Officer [PPRO], Mr. Eguavoen Emokpae, confirmed the incident, saying that investigation was on-going over the killings.
“The man has been arrested and he is making useful statements. The matter is under investigations,” he said.
