The incident reportedly took place on Sunday
last week at Oku Street, Uyo.
An eye witness revealed that after losing the sum of N3,000
to gambling, Etim had accused the victim of defrauding him and threatened to
kill him if he did not refund the money.
According to reports, the victim had refused to refund Etim,
insisting that the money was no longer his own, as the game was all about luck.
Obviously angered by the victim’s response, Etim pulled out
a screw driver from his pocket and stabbed the victim in the neck.
It took the intervention of passers-by to stop Etim from
inflicting further injuries on the victim, a source revealed.
The Police arrived at the scene and arrested Etim while the
victim was rushed to the hospital by a good Samaritan.
Speaking during the arrest, the Police Officer advised
youths to desist from gambling and seek legitimate ways to better their lives.
