Who killed a lecturer in the University of Calabar (UNICAL) in his home? Or it is a case of suicide? Everyone is asking this question, but only the police can answer it.
Everyone woke up to the shocking scene, with the body of Felix Akpan, a Professor of Political Science in the University, lying there lifeless.
His body was found with multiple stabs by police officers in Cross River State.
According to the spokesperson for the command, Irene Ugbo, the body was discovered on Sunday.
She says the lifeless body was in his apartment at Plot 181, Duke Town Close, State Housing in Calabar.
Ugbo says an arrest has been made while the matter was still under investigation.
“We have a suspect in custody who claims to be a friend of the deceased (Professor Akpan). He said he did 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,” she assured.
The Visitor
A source, who pleaded anonymity, says the deceased had a guest on Saturday.

According to the source, the visitor, however, left very early on Sunday to Akampka before his body was found.
“A lady who stays in the compound said that she heard a loud scream the same day the visitor, who has now been confirmed to be a friend, left his apartment and alerted people in the neighbourhood about the noise.

“Perhaps, he forgot something that made him come back to the victim’s house, where he was apprehended and taken to professor’s apartment, where we saw the lifeless body of late lecturer with multiple stabs,” he said.
