The remains of late Inih Ebong, the associate professor of theatre arts, unjustly sacked and victimised for over two decades by the University of Uyo authorities, were buried on Friday, 10 October, at his hometown of Afaha Obio Eno, Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
Family members and friends, including some academics and old classmates, attended the funeral conducted by the Rosicrucian Order at the Aton Lodge, Uyo.

Mr Ebong, 73, died on 16 April at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital after a protracted battle for justice and survival, and against ill-health.
The university has yet to establish any wrongdoing against the deceased lecturer, and has refused to obey a court judgement ordering it to reinstate him and pay his accumulated salary and entitlements.
