Udo Okon Etim’s house was used to keep the victim, while demanding N100 million naira as ransom.

Since the three other accused persons died in the course of their trial, their names were struck out by the court.

The judgement laid to rest the 10 years trial of the 8-man squad who were also linked to the kidnap of a medical expert at the University of Uyo, Dr. Ini Enang in August, 2011.

In the case, the Court discharged and acquitted the accused for want of evidence.
