An Akwa Ibom High Court on Thursday discharged and acquitted one Mr. Odudu Ukpanah, for the murder of his father Albert Ukpanah who was also a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The presiding judge, Justice Ezekiel Enang, said the murder allegations against Odudu by the police and the Akwa Ibom State Government could not be proved so the court had to set him free.
Odudu, the only son of the late Ukpanah, was accused of killing his father by the state government during the tenure of Godswill Akpabio.
The late Ukpanah was assassinated on Wednesday March 12, 2014 at his residence.
It was learnt that a police report dated March 25, 2014 stated that the murder was “politically motivated.”
