Violent Mob Takes Life of Young Man Amidst TV Dispute

According to the petition, 'Our clients informed us that Mr. Owoicho George Adama (A.K.A Owie Banker) (the suspect) owns a beer parlor in Otukpo, Benue State. On April 25, 2024, the suspect accused Mr. Okibe Otsapa of stealing his television set from the beer parlor.'

“The suspect alleged that he invoked his “magical bible” to detect the person that stole his television set and the “magical bible” turned towards the position of Mr Okibe Otsapa and therefore it was Okibe who stole his television set.”

Furthermore, the chambers alleged that the suspect called Mr. Okibe Otsapa to his beer parlor and, accompanied by several loyal hoodlums, subjected him to fatal violence. The suspect purportedly boasted of relying on the judgment of his "magical bible."

“Upon the gruesome m3rder of Mr. Okibe Otsapa, we were further briefed that the suspect has been boasting on the streets of Otukpo that he trusted the infallible judgment of his “magical bible” and that he had succeeded in eliminating Mr. Okibe Otsapa and that nobody can challenge him.

“He openly bragged of his iron-cast connections with high profile politicians in Benue State. He stated that his politician friends would always protect him against any arrest.”

Meanwhile, Senator Abba Moro, who represents Benue South Senatorial District and serves as the Senate Minority Leader, denounced the killing of Otsapa.
