“The killing of the tourist occured on Tuesday night when the victim and his wife were passing through Abaomege on their way to Calabar, Cross River State.
They went into the bush and set their tent so as to have some rest before continuing their journey. As they were resting in the tent, gunmen stormed the area and shot at them.” Sad enough, they shot and killed the man. The corpse has been deposited in the mortuary. The wife was devastated. What we did was to put her in a hotel and gave her some money.”
