A group of suspected cult members have brutally murdered a prophet and his father in Akwa Ibom.

The suspect, who were said to be members of Iceland confraternity, brutally murdered the victims, identified as Chief Ephraim Jacob Obonukut and his son, Prophet Kufre Obonukut.

The prophet, who is the founder of Last Bus-Stop Church (LBC), and his father were killed in their family compound at Ikot Ibekwe, few kilometres to Ikot Akpankuk, headquarters of the Local Government at the weekend.

Speaking to Nigerian Tribune, a family source said the cultist came to kill Prophet Kufre, and when he raised alarm, his father who came to save him was also killed.

“But the criminals turned and also attacked hit the father on his head and other parts of his body with a matchete.” the source said.

Another family source said the killing might have a connection with the fact that the prophet is an object of envy among other church founders in the area.

According to the source, the prophet was accused of luring members from other churches through miracles.

“It is very sad to miss a father and a son at the same time. At the moment, the mother is bedridden. The prophet had been buried while the father is to be buried later because of his chieftaincy status,” the source said.

Confirming the incident, spokesperson of the state police command, Odiko Macdon, said an investigation is being carried out to unravel the cause of the attack.

“Discreet investigations are ongoing to ascertain the immediate and remote causes of the incident,” he assured, urging members of the civil society to volunteer intelligence to security agents with a view to apprehend the culprits.
