A 14-year-old girl, whose father was shot dead by suspected kidnappers, believed she could have saved her father if she was with him the day he was brutally murdered.
“He treasured me so much and always did his best to protect and shield me. But I wish I was there that day to protect him,” Emem Ukpong, an SS1 student wrote, in a tribute to her slain father.
The remains of her late father, Sylvanus Ukpong, an Akwa Ibom State entrepreneur was buried on Friday at Iko Eko Ibon in Onna Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
