An eyewitness and president of Journalism and Media Studies Students Association, JAMSSA, Mr. Nsoefen Akpan narrated that the Doctor at Ikot Ekpene General Hospital after close examination declared him dead on arrival.
Akpan noted that students decided to take John to Church for prayers, as they refused to believe the doctor’s report that he was dead.
“In the church after he was rejected, another spiritualist offered to resuscitate him but couldn’t succeed claiming that the deceased has been admitted already in the spirit world.“At this point, we returned the corpse to the mortuary,” Akpan added.
