CALABAR – A THIRTY year old man, Richard
Effiok from Akpabuyo local Government Area
of Cross River State has narrated how he
slashed the throat of his twenty- three year-
old girl friend, Bassey Udoh, from Akwa Ibom
State after a sex romp.
Richard in an interview with Vanguard on
Monday at the Cross River State Police
Command headquarters said he had been
dating the girl for two years but she was
always demanding for money from him each
time they made love and on the 22nd of May,
2015, she requested for five thousand naira
and what he had on him was just one
thousand naira which the girl rejected and a
scuffle ensued between them'
“She usually comes to visit me and we make
love and I do give her money but last time
she came, we made love three times and
after that she asked for five thousand naira
but I had just one thousand naira which I
gave to her and she rejected the money”
Richard who lives on Nelson Mandela Street
in the heart of Calabar said when the girl
rejected the money, she became infuriated
and grabbed his boxers and a scuffle ensued
between them in his room.
“I was angry when she tore my boxers and i
got hold of a kitchen knife and pierced her in
the stomach and later slashed her throat and
she died because of the bleeding”
He said the young lady’s scream when he
stabbed her in the stomach attracted
neighbours who forced the door open but
before they could enter the room, he had
slashed her throat and she dropped dead .
‘They could not take her to hospital since
she was already dead before they entered
the room so they only invited the police who
arrested me and took the body the
mortuary.”
