A gruesome murder case has unfolded in Delta State, Nigeria, where a man, Efe Onoetiyi, allegedly beheaded his best friend, Paulinus Okon, after misappropriating N30 million entrusted to him.
According to reports, Onoetiyi had been given the money by Okon to purchase a house, but instead, he used the funds for personal gain, buying two plots of land and building a duplex. When confronted by Okon’s family about his disappearance, Onoetiyi fabricated stories, including claiming that Okon had been kidnapped and demanding a ransom.
