Uduak Akpan tries to run after he was sentenced to death for raping, killing job seeker, Idiubong Umoren (video)
The convicted rapist and murderer, Uduak Akpan, went wild in the court after he was sentenced to death by hanging today at the High court.
Uduak was convicted by Justice Bassey Nkanang of the Akwa Ibom State High Court today August 4, for raping and killing Iniubong Umoren.
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 went wild.
An eye-witness said he took the guards by surprise and actually tried to strangle one of them before he was overpowered and bundled into the waiting van.
