Similarly, an Akwa Ibom state high court sitting in Uyo sentenced 21 years old Uduak Akpan to death by hanging for the murder of Iniubong Umoren, a job seeker in the state.The presiding judge, Justice Bassey Nkanang, in his ruling also sentenced the accused to life imprisonment for raping the deceased lured to his father’s house in Uruan local government for the sake of offering her a job.

The former Kano state governor reportedly endorsed the execution of seven inmates on death row, who were all sentenced to death in the state, while Oshiomhole ratified the execution of two persons in Edo.
