So the Uduak guy allegedly handed Ini to his father (when it got too hot) who handed her to Uduak's cousin.
A family of monsters! The entire bloodline! You can't tell me others did not know too or had an idea.

Look at this Uduak Frank Akpan very well. Is he on Dreads? No! Does he have beards? No! Is he wearing tattoo? No! Does he have bulky muscles? Piercings? No. Is he a murderer?Yes.I hope the Nigerian police can learn from this. Stop profiling men based on looks. #FindHinnyHumoren pic.twitter.com/8EkhWzWlxi

They found other bodies where Ini was buried? Uduak Frank Akpan has been raping and murdering women for years and getting away with it. The only reason he met his end this time was because ordinary Nigerian Citizens took over the investigation. #FindHinnyHumoren
