Akwa Ibom State Governor, Orders for The Body of Makeup Artist to be Transferred to the State, for Proper Burial

Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno has instructed that the body of Abigail Frederick, the makeup artist who tragically passed away alongside Jnr Pope and three others on April 10, be brought to the state for a dignified burial.

Abigael’s body was discovered on Thursday, April 11, and purportedly interred at the riverbank. Allegedly, the villagers insisted on burying her there because her family members did not perform a sacrifice to appease the river goddess before attempting to remove her body from the river.

In a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ekerete Udoh, stated that the body of the 24-year-old graduate of Theatre Arts should be brought to her family “His Excellency, Governor Umo Eno, has consequently directed that her body be brought back to her family for a proper and decent burial.”
