Police Launch manhunt as suspected cultists behead youth leader in Akwa Ibom

Suspected cultists have beheaded Hezekiah John Adaiden, the youth president of the Inen clan in OrukAnam Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
The incident occurred at about 1 am on Sunday when the deceased was hosting a group of young men in his compound.

An eyewitness said the cultists dragged Adaiden to a corner, beat him to a coma and cut off his head.

The source said the hoodlums looted the house, beat up the wife and carted away valuables items.

“Till now we cannot understand what happened.

“The cultists arrived at the compound at a very odd hour in the night.

“Since they are known by the youth president, he offered them drinks.

“While they were drinking at about 1am, another armed group arrived and were very violent as they dragged the victim to a corner and killed him.

“They beheaded him and escaped with the head after they tortured the wife and poured hot soup on her head as they beat her mercilessly.”

Police spokesman, Odiko Mcdon, a Superintendent of Police, described the killing as barbaric.

He said detectives were on their trail.

“There is an ongoing manhunt to arrest perpetrators of such crime,” he said.
