On Thursday, the Akwa Ibom State High Court in Uyo sentenced Uduak Frank Akpan to death by hanging for the murder of Iniubong Umoren.
According to reports, the court discharged and acquitted the killer’s father, Frank Akpan, and sister, Bassey Anwan.
Umoren’s case drew a lot of attention from Nigerians, particularly on social media.
Late Iniubong Umoren, a Philosophy graduate from the University of Uyo (UNIUYO), was allegedly raped, murdered, and buried in a shallow grave by a suspected serial rapist and killer, Uduak-Abasi Akpan, in April 2021.
Akpan lured his victim, 26, to his family residence at Nung Ikono Obio village in Uruan Local Government Area (LGA) with a job offer where he had allegedly raped, murdered, and buried her in a shallow grave within the premises.
