A young man named Akwande died after his friend, simply identified as Emmanuel, attacked him with a machete in Olum Community in Boki, Local Government Area LGA of Cross River State.

Vanguard reports that Patrick Osang (an eyewitness) said that three of them went to the farm when a fight broke out between the suspect and the deceased.

“After the work, Emmanuel brought out his pawpaw and was eating while Akwande was sucking oranges. I left the two of them and went to cut palm fruits.

I did not hear any quarrel or exchange of words but when I went back I saw Akwande lying in a pool of blood with a deep cut on his neck. I asked Emmanuel what happened but he did not say anything but went ahead to attack me with his matchet.

We fought with our knives but his knife could not penetrate my body neither did mine enter his because of the charms both of us have. But I overpowered him and dragged him to the village.

We are friends from Obudu and came to Boki to work for daily pay. We have been living peacefully until Saturday afternoon when Emmanuel killed Akwande”

The state police command is yet to react to the incident.

Wow, his own friend did this to him, why would he no also fortify himself as his friends
