A man has been arrested after his girlfriend’s lifeless body with a broken neck was found in her apartment in Akwa Ibom.
The lady identified as Uwakfon Sunday Akpan was allegedly murdered on Tuesday, September 13, by her live-in boyfriend, Godwin, in her apartment.
A report by human rights activist, Levite Akpan said, “The deceased is my cousin and was making preparations to bring her daughter back home. She had spoken with my mum on how she could assist her daughter to get to a transport bus to take her to Uyo where she stays.
Uwakfon had made arrangements with a driver that will bring her daughter back to her. On Monday night, she called my mum to know if her daughter was set to go cause she was supposed to leave on Tuesday, which my mum told her where she’ll meet with the driver and her daughter.
“On Tuesday, as early as 5am, my mom got a call from my cousin’s number thinking it was her that was calling. When my mum picked the call, she noticed it was a male voice. Then, the guy told my mom that Uwakfon had passed on. My mum thought it was a joke. She called the line severally until he revealed that Uwakfon was sick and had complained about having headaches. He said he gave her paracetamol and left for church only to return to meet her dead.
“My mum doubted his story because when she spoke with Uwakfon, she didn’t sound like one who was sick. Some relatives went to my cousin’s house and found her lifeless body with wounds all over and her neck broken. We quickly invited the police and Godwin was arrested.
“However, Godwin Essang who killed my cousin, is still denying he did not commit the crime. The major problem is the police are trying to accept inducement to kill the case. We need justice for Uwakfon Sunday Akpan.”
