20-year-old man arrested for hacking motorcyclist to death

Cephas Appaf was arrested in Benin, Edo State, for allegedly hacking a motorcyclist to death in the Ovia South-West LGA of the state. Appaf, a rubber tapper, from Benue State, had asked Aniete Okon to give him a ride to Benin, on November 3, 2016.



It was gathered that the suspect had told his unsuspecting victim to make a stopover on the way, where he picked up a cutlass and hacked him severally in the neck, before fleeing on the motorcycle.

He, however, ran out of luck when he put up the motorcycle for sale and one of his potential buyers suspected his claim of ownership of the property. He was later apprehended and handed over to the police in the area. Crdt: Punchng
