After the judge read out the judgement, the convicted rapist attempted to escape from the courtroom, but was overpowered by security officials.

The State High Court in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, has sentenced Uduak Akpan to death for raping and murdering a female job seeker, Iniubong Umoren, in the state last year.

The victim’s friend, Uduak Umoh, said she heard her scream for help when she established contact with her on the phone. Her gruesome murder ignited international and nationwide outrage over increasing rape cases in Nigeria. He also denied the confessional statements he made to the police and added that a similar statement he made to the State Security Services was done under duress.

Besides his confessional statements to the police and the SSS, Mr Akpan, while he was paraded at the police headquarters in Uyo, told reporters how he lured and killed the victim.
