The body of late Miss Iniobong Umoren has been laid to rest at her home state of Akwa Ibom. She was buried today, being Friday 14th May 2021.
She was buried at her Family compound, at Nung Ita Obio Enin Atai, Oruk Anam Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom state.
The burial ceremony of Miss Iniobong Umoren who according to reports, was alleged to have been raped and murdered by one Uduak Frank Akpan and his family members, is still ongoing in Akwa Ibom as friends and family members gather to bid their final farewell.
The 26-year-old Miss Iniobong Umoren, who until her gruesome murder was a fresh graduate of the University of Uyo, was found dead 48 hours after she left home to honour a job interview scheduled by Mr Akpan at a location on the outskirts of Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.
The murder suspect, who, according to the police, later confessed to being a serial rapist, confirmed raping and killing the missing lady.
He had claimed he buried her in a shallow grave in his father’s compound, after raping her.
“On 30/04/2021, the Command received a report on the disappearance of the victim.
Following available leads, men of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad of the Command, led by CSP Inengiye Igosi, consolidated on the initial great progress made by the DPO Uruan, SP Samuel Ezeugo and arrested the perpetrator who confessed to have lured his victim to his house in the guise of giving her a job but ended up sexually and physically assaulting her which led to her death.
“To cover his tracks, he dragged and buried her in a shallow grave in his father’s compound,” Odiko MacDon, the Akwa Ibom Police Command spokesperson, said.
