A 20-year-old man, Kopapa Neete, has been stabbed to death during an altercation with a relative in Rivers State.
The incident occurred on Sunday night, allegedly perpetrated by his elder cousin, Bobby Gabriel, in Duburo community in the Khana Local Government Area of the State.
A community source, Emma Barikor, said Gabriel, who is in his early 40, stabbed the cousin to death with a knife during an argument.
Barikor said the suspect allegedly fled after he had committed the dastardly act.
Chairman of the Community Development Committee (CDC) of the Duburo community, Vincent Gbosi, confirmed the incident to a journalist in a telephone interview.
Gbosi added that the matter had been reported to Bori Divisional Police headquarters, Khana LGA.
He stated: “On Sunday night, there was an incident in the community where one, Mr. Bobby Gabriel, stabbed you, Kopapa Neete, to death. They are actually cousins.
“As a community, we formally lodged a complaint with the police at Bori Police headquarters. We want to use the opportunity to call on the government to look into the state of insecurity in the community.
