An alleged criminal involved in a murder case in
Bakassi Local Government Area of Cross River State has escaped from
Police custody in Bakassi Police Divisional headquarters.
According to Daily Post, the suspect, Essien Ita
was alleged to have been involved in the murder of chief Eyo Eyo Bassey
who was assassinated some time ago in 2017.
A source who preferred anonymity said that when Essien was granted bail
late last year, he went back to the brother of the deceased Village head
of Ikot- Obot to threaten him.
“When he was granted bail, he went back to the younger brother of Chief
Eyo Eyo Bassey who was assassinated last year to threaten his life and
vowed that he will make sure he too was also killed as like his elder brother.
