Teenage Girl Killed By Policemen is Buried

Family of Lucy Ukpong, the 18-year-old sales girl killed by some policemen in Apo, Abuja on October 12, have said nothing short of justice will be acceptable to them.

This is just as Lucy was buried amid tears at Etinan Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State on Saturday.

PUNCH Metro had reported on Friday that the police authorities had pleaded with the family to accept an amicable settlement of the matter.

But Lucy’s uncle, Tony Ukpong, who spoke with our correspondent in Etinan on Saturday, insisted that the family was more interested in justice.

Tony said, “Justice must be done because the way Lucy was killed is not acceptable to us; we demand justice and nothing less.
