Man Sentenced to Death by Hanging for Beheading Brother Over Witchcraft Allegation

A 29-year-old man, Akaninyene Thomas Okpon, has been sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of his elder brother, Friday Thomas Enyenokpon, in Akwa Ibom State.

The Akwa Ibom State High Court sitting in Uyo found Okpon guilty of the 2018 killing, which took place in Ikot Abasi Asutan, Ibesikpo Asutan LGA.

Okpon, along with another brother, the late Ime Thomas Okpon, had ambushed and beheaded the victim, accusing him of being a witch responsible for their misfortunes.

Ime, who was also standing trial, died in custody before the case concluded, leaving Akaninyene as the sole defendant.

Justice Okon Okon, delivering judgment in Suit No. HU/5C/2019, ruled that the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, citing the convict’s confessional statement and physical evidence.

The judge noted that Okpon had previously threatened to kill family members and later led the police to the buried remains of the deceased.

“The sentence of the Court upon you… is that you be hanged by the neck until you are dead,” Justice Okon declared.

The court also ordered the forfeiture of the two machetes used in the killing, which were presented as evidence during trial.

FG Protests New US Visa Restrictions, Calls Move Disproportionate

The Federal Government has expressed concern over the recent decision by the United States to tighten visa rules for Nigerian citizens.

It described the move as “disproportionate” and urged the US to reconsider it in the spirit of mutual respect and cooperation.

The US recently revised its visa reciprocity schedule for Nigeria, cutting the validity of non-immigrant visas—including B1/B2 (business/tourism), F (student), and J (exchange visitor)—to just three months and limiting them to single entry.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it viewed the development with “concern and keen interest,” given the historically cordial relations between the two countries.

Spokesperson Kimiebi Ebienfa said the policy appears to conflict with principles of reciprocity, equity, and mutual respect expected between friendly nations.

The Nigerian government warned that the decision could affect students, business professionals, and families seeking to visit loved ones in the US.

It also raised concerns about the impact on cultural and educational exchanges, which have long been pillars of US-Nigeria ties.

While recognising the US’s sovereign right to set immigration policy, Nigeria urged a reconsideration in line with global partnership values.

The Ministry confirmed that diplomatic discussions are ongoing and reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to reaching a fair and balanced resolution.
