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.

It was learnt that the job seeker was raped, killed and buried in a shallow grave by the man who invited her for a job interview last week.

Umoren, a graduate of the University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom, had last Tuesday indicated that she was looking for a job on Twitter.

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.”

As the story went viral on social media soon after she made the call, Nigerians were able to unmask her abductor with hope that the intelligence provided will help in finding the missing lady and bring her abductor to justice.
