Policeman kills colleague to help his fellow cult members

The police in Cross River said one of its personnel, Kingsley Iyeke, killed another policeman, Edet Archibong, during a gun duel between the police and suspected cultists in Calabar.
Jimoh Ozi-Obeh, the Commissioner of Police in the state, made this known on Monday in Calabar while briefing journalists on the activities of the command in the past one month.

The commissioner said that after the incident, the police swung into action by tracing the cultists to their hideout where some of them were arrested.
He explained that during interrogating, one of the suspected cultists mentioned Mr. Iyeke, a police corporal, as their member “and that he was the one that shot the police inspector during the clash’’.
“Majority of the suspects have been arrested. Our front line interrogation shows that one of our personnel, Corporal Kingsley Iyeke, was one of the cultists. During our trial, we found out that truly he was their member. We have dismissed him and he will face the full wrath of the law,’’ he said. Crdt: Punchng
