On August 16, 2017, Akpata, an indigene of Delta State and popularly called Bishop because he reportedly administered a church, allegedly murdered his 33-year-old ‘wife.’
But the deceased’s elder brother, Mr. Eze, denied report that the killer and his victim were married saying they met in June, 2017 and their marriage introduction that was slated for August 12, in Enugu where the deceased hailed from was called off after Akpata claimed he had been kidnapped on that same day.
The grieving brother described his sister’s killer as a serial liar. Eze added that the alleged killer was in his sixties and not forties as reported in the media.
He told Punch about how the suspect’s daughter, Amassoma, who works with the Niger Delta University threatened the deceased.
He said, “At a point, the daughter working at NDU sent a threat message to my sister, which she showed me on the day(August 12) she left for Yenagoa. She had received the threat message earlier but hid it from us. But on that day she was leaving for Yenagoa, she told me. She said, “Brother, see the letter I received from Stephen’s daughter threatening me to stay away from her father.”
