The court granted Akpan bail on health grounds pending the determination of an appeal.

On December 1, 2022, an Uyo Federal High Court-led by Justice A.A. Okeke sentenced the Senator to 42 years imprisonment for corruption.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, arraigned Albert for receiving exotic cars worth N204m from a contractor of the Akwa Ibom State Government, Jide Omokare.

Reacting, Albert gave thanks to God after the court granted him bail.

In a Facebook post, the governorship candidate of the Young Progressives Party, YPP, wrote: “In every situation, God has something to say. It’s all about God. That same God.”
