Episode Details

Six suspects, including a former police deputy, face murder and conspiracy charges in the brutal April 2023 killing of businessman Emmanuel Mbense — allegedly tied to a copper theft investigation. Authorities claim the killers swore an oath of silence at Carnival City, with death as punishment for betrayal. Mbense was abducted, tortured, and dumped in a dam after refusing to cooperate despite offering cash. The case spiraled into national attention after four alleged co-conspirators died mysteriously — suicides and shootings — complicating the probe. All six accused pleaded not guilty in court, arguing their defense should not be tainted by the deaths of others, and they’re fighting for bail as the state continues to hunt for more members of the alleged pact.
