Ojang, who confessed to the crime said “one Friday, I went
to one compound in my community and stole. On Sunday, I went there again but
this time, I ran out of luck as people started pursuing me. I ran into the bush
but my assailants were not ready to give up the pursuit. At a point, I hid
myself somewhere in the bush, but one man, who I do not know his name, found me
there and used his matchet on me. At a point, I over-powered him, collected his
matchet and murdered him.

“I went home with the matchet with which I murdered the man,
and told my parents. My dad gave me transport fare and advised me to escape. I
escaped to Akwa Ibom State. But few weeks after, I was told that the police had
arrested my dad. Later, I was picked up by the police and brought back here.”
