A disturbing case of attempted murder and conspiracy has rocked Calabar following a formal petition by Goldminds Legal Consult to the Commissioner of Police, Cross River State Command, over a brutal attack on a young man, Mr Ransome Anock Ojah.
According to the petition dated July 5, 2024, and signed by P.B. Abah Esq., the law firm is seeking the urgent arrest and prosecution of six individuals—Mr Godknows Aho Amatey, Mr Sunday Aho Amatey, Mr Ikenga Adem Erim, Mr Annovu Sunday Aho, and Mr Amatey Otei Amatey—for their alleged involvement in the attempted murder of Ojah.
The petition details a chilling account of events on July 3, 2024. Ojah, while on his way to the farm, was reportedly ambushed and viciously attacked by Mr Ikenga Adem Erim, who was allegedly acting on the orders of the suspects above. The victim suffered multiple machete cuts and a gunshot wound to the head, leaving him in a critical condition at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital.
The incident, according to the petitioners, stemmed from a meeting held on July 2, 2024, at the residence of Mr Godknows Aho Amatey, an employee of the Cross River State Accountant General’s Office. During the meeting, Mr Ikenga Adem Erim allegedly brandished a gun and a machete, boasting about his gang’s control over the village. He was reportedly assured by Mr Godknows Amatey that financial and legal problems could easily be resolved due to his connections and access to funds.
The next day, Ojah was allegedly lured into a trap after accepting a ride from Master Annovu Sunday, who dropped him off near the ambush site. There, Mr Ikenga reportedly shot him and inflicted deep machete wounds on various parts of his body in an attempt to kill him.
The petition also accuses Mr Sunday Aho Amatey of shielding the key suspect from law enforcement and openly bragging about his influence over police and judicial authorities.
Furthermore, Mr Godknows Amatey is said to have frustrated the investigation by concealing Mr Ikenga and other suspects.
As the victim battles for his life, the legal team has demanded an urgent and thorough investigation, calling on the police to arrest and prosecute all those involved.
