A dispute over a packet of marijuana resulted in Mkpor fatally assaulting his friend, Tunde, with a machete on Christmas Eve.
The tragic incident occurred in Aduma ward, Mkpani, situated in the Yakkur Local Government Area of central Cross River.
According to reports from the vicinity, approximately 120 kilometers away from Calabar, Mkpor had purchased a packet of marijuana from Tunde but declined to make payment, sparking a heated argument between them.
An individual from the area named Okona informed Vanguard that Mkpor had visited Tunde’s spot where he sold marijuana, consumed one packet of the substance, and then refused to compensate Tunde for it. Consequently, Tunde barred Mkpor from accessing his selling spot.
“I understand he was fond of causing trouble in the bunk each time he went there. And on this occasion he ordered for a wrap of marjuna and after smoking he refused to pay.
“This prompted Tunde, who operates the place, to order him out with instructions that he should not visit the place again.
“The order irked the young man and he threatened to kill Tunde any time he sees him outside the bunk.
“On Wednesday afternoon, Tunde went towards our new market to buy some stuff and Mkpor followed him.
“When Tunde turned to look who was walking behind him, Mkpor threw a big stone which hit him on his forehead and he fell.
“He then brought out a machete and hacked off his Tunde’s ight hand causing him to bleed to death.
“The youths of the community allegedly rose in anger and set the family house of Mkpor ablaze.”
