After two years of legal battle, four policemen are to die by hanging
for killing a commercial motorcycle operator in 2016 on Goodluck
Jonathan Boulevard, Akwa Ibom State.
The four convicted policemen are, Inspectors Moses Akpaete, Idoko Sampson, Corporals Enobong Udo and Godwin Nnanna.
They had since been dismissed from the force as they last served at the ‘C’ Division of the Akwa Ibom Police Command.
The
trial judge, Justice Ifiok Ukana, found the officers guilty of
conspiracy in the murder of one Felix Akpan of Ibiakpan in Ibiono Ibom
Local Government Area of the state.
It was learned that the
officers, while on patrol, shot at the late motorcyclist for allegedly
refusing to stop for “settlement.” The motorcyclist was accused of
operating along areas marked “prohibited” in Uyo.
