A’Ibom CP: Iniubong Umoren’s Killer Not Dead

The police in Akwa Ibom on Thursday dismissed the rumour that
Mr. Uduak Ezekiel Akpan, the suspected killer of Miss Iniubong
Umoren committed suicide in its police custody.

Social media has been awash with news that 20-year Akpan, who
allegedly lured Miss Umoren with a job offer and subsequently raped
and killed her, has killed himself.

It was reported on social media that the suspect hung himself
with his trousers tied to metal after having his meal.

Following reports of the suicide, some individuals and groups
had accused the police of foul play and attempt to cover up the
crime.

But the State Commissioner of Police, Andrew Amiengheme
dismissed the suicide rumour, describing it as the handiwork of
mischief-makers.

He told TheNation, Not TheNigerialawyer on the telephone, ”It is
not true that Uduak Akpan has committed suicide.

The suspect is in our custody. Maybe he committed suicide in the
bedrooms of those peddling the rumour.”
