Tragedy has struck in Akwa Ibom State as a young lady identified as Iniobiong Umoren, who was out looking for a job in Uyo, had her life cut short by one Uduak Frank Akpan.

On Thursday April 29, 2021, it was gathered that she was invited for a job interview by a man who contacted her on Twitter at an undisclosed location along airport road in Uyo.

Umoren’s friend, Uduak Umoh, who disclosed this on her Twitter page, said the deceased made a frantic phone call where she was heard screaming before the call was ended in a sudden manner. Her phone remains switched off since then.

“Y’all my friend @HinyHumoren is in trouble and she needs our help. I’m currently in Lagos and I can’t help than to put this out there. Earlier today she told me she was going for a job interview at airport road which is quite far from her house,” she tweeted.

“To cut everything short, she sent me a 1sec audio record on WhatsApp and I had to call her back to know if she wanted to say something to me, but immediately I called her I heard her screaming. Someone, please help her out.”

It was learnt that Uduak Frank Akpan had invited Umoren for the job interview at his residence where an argument ensured and he hit her head with an object, resulting to her death.

Before her death, it was also gathered that the victim was allegedly raped and murdered by her abductor who later buried her in a shallow grave.
