An unnamed person believed to be a friend of slain Professor of Political Science with the University of Calabar (UNICAL), Prof. Felix Akpan has been arrested in connection with the murder.
Prof. Akpan(pictured) was found dead on Sunday in his apartment at Plot 181, Duke Town Close, State Housing in Calabar, with multiple stab wounds on his body.
The circumstances suggested it was not a case of natural death, with report rife that he had a male visitor that was with him on Saturday and left on Sunday before he was discovered dead.
“We have a suspect in custody who claims to be a friend of the deceased (Prof. Akpan). He said he does not know what happened to him or who stabbed him to death.
“Our crack team of detectives have already swung into action, we will soon get to the root of the matter by unravelling who the killer is,” the Command’s Spokesperson, SP Irene Ugbo said.
