The University of Calabar community is mourning the tragic death of Professor Felix Akpan, a Political Science lecturer who was found dead with multiple stab wounds at his residence on Duke Town close, behind Mega Hilton Hotel, Calabar on Sunday, March 12.
According to reports, the professor had a visitor at his house on Saturday, March 11, who left early Sunday morning before the lecturer’s bloodied body was discovered. A neighbor in the compound claimed to have heard a loud scream on the same day the visitor left the apartment and alerted others in the neighborhood.
The visitor, alleged to be a friend of the deceased, was apprehended and taken to the professor’s apartment where the lifeless body was found in a pool of blood with multiple stab injuries.
The police have confirmed the incident and assured the public that an arrest has been made, with further investigation ongoing.
The loss of Professor Felix Akpan has left a void in the academic community at UNICAL, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace.
