After being given a death by hanging sentence, Uduak Akpan, a convicted rapist and murderer, was caught on camera trying to flee the High court.
Justice Bassey Nkanang of the Akwa Ibom State High Court found Uduak guilty of raping and killing Iniubong Umoren today, August 4.
Umoren, a graduate of Philosophy, University of Uyo, was killed in April 2021 by Akpan. The deceased was job hunting while awaiting mobilization for the compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme when she encountered Akpan who feigned he had a job for her. On getting to his apartment, Akpan raped her, and then killed her.
Shortly after he was sentenced to death by hanging, Uduak attempted to flee the court room.
