A Rivers State High Court has sentenced Mr. Damian Chinemerem Okoligwe to death by hanging for the killing of Miss Justina Otungen Nkang, a 300-level Biochemistry student of the University of Port Harcourt.
The judgment, delivered on Friday, brings an end to a highly publicised case that triggered widespread outrage and sustained calls for justice across Rivers State and beyond. Nkang’s death had led to protests, vigils, and social media campaigns demanding accountability.
The ruling is seen as a moment of closure for the family and supporters who have followed the case closely since its inception.
