Cross River based film maker and founder of Liberty Foundation Gospel
Ministries, Evangelist Helen Akpabio lost all 3 of her younger brothers on
the same day in March. The brothers, Joseph, Charles and Emmanuel Akpabio, were killed on
Sunday March 25th in front of their aged mother. Continue to read what
allegedly happened... The killings - shocking, barbaric and reminiscent of a mafia-styled gangland
bloodletting - crime was allegedly perpetrated by a combine team of the
State Security Service (SSS) operatives and a Nigeria Police squad. The killing which was a culmination of a well-laid plan started on March 24,
when three anonymous white men came to Mbente Village in Nkari clan, Ini
Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, the village where the
decased, Emmanuel and Joseph, lived. They (white men) came in the
company of one of one Benjamin Christopher Akpan Otu from Ifa village of
the same clan. The three white men allegedly came on a courtesy visit, inviting youth leaders of the clan to come for a meeting concerning a dam
that is to be constructed on their land. Joseph Akpabio, one of the youth leaders, invited people in the village to
welcome the visitors. The visitors requested for a formal meeting the next
day. The youths had no idea that Benjamin, whom they consider a friend
and who escorted the white men was a bait and that the other men in the
white men’s entourage were actually SSS operatives. The next day’s
rendezvous was fixed at Ikot Ekpene, which is about one hour drive from Nkari clan. Benjamin, further suggested to Joseph that the meeting should be in his
wife’s house at Ikot Ekpene. Joseph unwittingly accepted. The “Judas”
went ahead by calling the Akpabio elder brother, Charles, a sailor who
resided in Calabar, and informed him of the meeting. The latter called his
brother to confirm it. To forclose any suspicion, the scheming Benjamin
and his white men invited a few other youths, who were executives of the Nkari Youth, one Solomon Udoette, two others from other villages in Nkari
and also the last of the Akpabio brothers, Emmanuel. The next day March 25, the invited youth leaders left for the meeting not
knowing they were on their way to their death. Joseph the host of the
meeting bought drinks and prepared snacks for the coming visitors. He
went the extra mile by asking his wife to buy petrol so that they could put
on light and fan while the meeting lasted. The white men and their escort,
Benjamin, called Joseph Akpabio to be sure he was there. They also confirmed whether his elder brother Charles, who lived in Calabar would
make the meeting and the still-unsuspecting Joseph told them he was on
his way. Before long they were all assembled in Joseph’s compound. The
mysterious white men came in a truck driven by one Toppa, who
incidentally was a friend to the younger Akpabio, Joseph. Also in
attendance was Benjamin Christopher Akpan. Shortly into the meeting, the white men called for an interlude so they could
hold a brief discussion among themselves outside. Just as they stepped
out, the generator went off. The host’s wife who went out to check the
cause of the power outage was confronted by about 20 policemen who all
wore black T-shirts. She witnessed the final betrayal as the white men
shook hands with the leader of the squad, a certain Noel Nduka before they departed. Then the nightmare unveiled. The policemen rushed into the house rounded
up those inside, handcuffed them and herded them into their trucks.
Thereafter, the true intention of the meeting began to unfold as Benjamin
Christopher Otu who was also handcuffed had his own handcuffs released
and he suddenly began to discuss freely with the police. The police wasted
no time in showing that they meant business: they shot all the six young men in their knees. Then the bizarre happening began to take the shape of
a vendetta, as the Judas, Benjamin, replied that they should “go and shine
in the grave”, when questioned by his friend Joseph about what crime they
had committed to deserve such a treatment. With the traitor acting as their
guide, the police drove their victims to their village allegedly to find the
father of Emmanuel, Charles and Joseph with the intention to kill him also. When the death squad got to the village, they gave their traitor guide a
mask to cover his face so as to hide his identity. Back to the very
compound where the meeting was held the previous day, the policemen
stormed the house searching for Chief Essien. However, their quarry was
not at home. As they ransacked the whole house, breaking down locked
doors, the masked accomplice (Benjamin) led them on with sign language, directing them to pressurize the Akpabio’s mother, madam Atim to produce
her husband. When that failed, they dragged out two of their victims
Charles (whose broken legs had been tied wit rafia ropes) and Joseph and
dumped them by plantain trees. The two elderly women, one, their 72-year-
old mother, the other their uncle’s wife, aged 82 years cried, begged the
policemen to set them free and to tell them what their crimes were. At that point Joseph did manage to tell his mother that Benjamin had set them up
using the dam project. The two boys were shot before the very eyes of
their mother and their uncle’s wife while their other brother, Emmanuel, and
the other three young men were taken away. Later, Benjamin confided in one Peter Ekpenyong Inuaeyen that the four
boys who were not killed were being detained at the State Police
headquarters, Ikot Akpan Abia. He also gave out some phone numbers
which include that of Noel Nduka, the SSS officer who allegedly shot the
brothers.
When a call was put through to him, Nduka allegedly confirmed that he killed the three brothers, claiming that they were terrorists. According to
reports, when asked about whom they had terrorized, the SSS operatives
was alleged to have claim that he has the right to kill anybody he is asked
to kill. How the other captives met their end gave a picture of a mindless cruelty.
By the next day, March 26, the remaining four young men who were still
alive—Emmanuel Akpabio, Solomon Udoette and two others – were driven
to Obot Akara and then shot at the boundary of Nto Edino and Obot Akara
at about 1a.m. of March 27, 2012. Benjamin, the Judas, again called his
confidant, Peter Ekpenyong Inuaeyen and told him that “all are gone”. Noel Nduka, later told a local newspaper that the police team encountered
some robbers who operated between Abia State and Akwa Ibom and had
killed all four of them. Meanwhile, two weeks before the tragedy, Benjamin, the deceiver, came
with his accomplice, Toppa, and told the late Joseph of how the youths of
the land were vandalizing the property and equipment for the dam.
Benjamin insisted that since Joseph is the youth president he should call
Charles to accompany him to go and pick some of those things for safety.
Charles later told his wife that Benjamin did a strange thing by filming them with his camera phone while they were doing that. Today, the police are
using what Benjamin recorded as their evidence to the fact that the boys
have been stealing from the dam. Killed and abandoned by the road, efforts made by the family of Chief
Essien Akpabio to have the corpses of the murdered young men buried
decently has been futile. A lawyer, who went to see the DPO of Obot
Akara, was sent back empty-handed by the recalcitrant police boss. At the moment, it is alleged that Noel Nduka is still insisting that he must
kill Lady Apostle Helen Ukpabio whom he claimed has been aiding the
kidnappers. He has also sent threat messages and calls to the only brother
of the deceased, Henry Akpabio who is resident in UK. He is alleged to
have boasted that “they” are commissioned to eliminate him and the entire
family of Chief Essien Ukpabio. In a brief phone chat with Sunday Express, grief-stricken Helen Ukpabio,
said all her family wants now is justice and the recovery of the corpse of
her remaining brother. “My life is in danger, but I’m not deterred, my family
and I will follow this wicked case of injustice till we get justice. You cannot
kill my innocent and defenseless brothers and expect me to keep quiet
because you are working for the government.”

Funny that even yours sincerely(OP) has not read the story

This should be thoroughly investigated. If it is true, justice should be granted to d family no matter who is involved.

ok, i was told this story cant possibly be true.

hopefully, it isnt.

can anyone verify that it is, actually fake.

Was this story ever verified independently? Has Helen made a public statement on this..............Until then, I reserve my comments.
