Glory Ibianga is calling for justice after her elder brother, Bassey Ibianga, was allegedly beaten to death by his step-siblings over an accusation of stealing a bag. The tragic incident, which has sent shockwaves through their community, reportedly occurred on October 25, 2026, in their family home.

According to Glory, Bassey, 43, was living with their mother in the village when he was accused by a stepsister of theft. Following this accusation, two stepbrothers and a stepsister allegedly attacked him around 6 AM, leading to a brutal beating that resulted in his death. Glory learned of her brother's demise shortly after returning from church that Sunday, receiving the devastating news from a friend.

The family dynamics have long been strained, with Glory recounting a history of conflict among the siblings that dates back to her childhood. She described a particularly violent incident from 2010, where she was targeted by her stepsisters, leading to a series of unresolved tensions within the family. With 20 children from their father, who had two wives and several children born outside wedlock, the relationships among the siblings have been fraught with animosity.

In the wake of Bassey’s death, Glory expressed her disbelief and anguish, stating, "I cannot understand how a quarrel could lead to his death." She revealed that Bassey had called her just a week before his death, discussing mundane matters and expressing his commitment to help their mother.

After the alleged attack, Bassey was reportedly left unattended for hours before his family realized he was dead. Glory's brother, who saw Bassey after the beating, described him as cold and stiff, raising further questions about the circumstances surrounding his death. Despite the gravity of the situation, local witnesses claimed they were discouraged from intervening during the attack, as the stepbrothers insisted it was a family matter.

The police were eventually notified, and they confirmed Bassey's death after visiting the scene. However, Glory expressed her frustration with the police's response, stating that no substantial investigation has taken place since the initial visit. She fears that the influence and wealth of her step-siblings may hinder the pursuit of justice.

The family is now seeking a thorough investigation and accountability for those responsible for Bassey’s death. Glory has publicly disowned her step-siblings, citing years of suffering and conflict, and is determined to ensure that her brother's death does not go unpunished. She stated, "I want the police to conduct a proper investigation and do everything required before the case goes to court. If those responsible are found guilty, they should face the appropriate punishment."

As the community rallies around the Ibianga family, the call for justice grows louder, with many expressing their outrage over the alleged brutality and the need for accountability in this tragic case.
