A man named Godwin Essang has been arrested after his girlfriend, identified as Uwakfon Sunday Akpan, was found dead with a broken neck in her apartment in Akwa Ibom State, on Tuesday, September 13.
According to her relative, who is a human rights activist named Levite Akpan, the suspect had called Levite’s mum to inform her that Uwakfon had passed away after complaining of headache.
He said Essang claimed he gave Uwakfon paracetamol and left for church only to return to meet her dead.
Levite said his mum doubted the story so she some relatives to Uwakfon’s house where they found her lifeless body with ”wounds all over and her neck broken.”
“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.”
“We need justice for Uwakfon Sunday Akpan,” Levite wrote.
Godwin Essang has denied the allegation.
