The suspect, who was arraigned before a Makurdi Chief Magistrate Court for criminal conspiracy and culpable homicide contrary to sections 97 and 222 of the Penal Code Law of Benue State 2004 for beating the victim and butchering him to death for allegedly invading his farm and stealing yams.

Sgt Kengeh told the court that the defendant was arrested during police investigation for committing the crime and one blue Honda motorcycle, one Siccoo handset and one easy wear, all belonging to the deceased person were recovered from him. He also said a cutlass was recovered from the crime scene, while the second suspect, Philip Udegi is still at large.
