#JusticeForHinyUmoren:

A civil servant, Mr Kufre Effiong, has explained his link to Frank Akpan, the suspected killer of the slain job-seeker, Iniubong Umoren.

According to records obtained from his mobile network provider published Monday by Newswire, Mr Akpan, shortly before his arrest had telephone conversations with Messrs Ezeugo and Effiong, a revelation that has raised suspicion of conspiracy.

Mr Ezeugo heads the police division that supervised the arrest of Mr Akpan while Mr Effiong, a civil servant at the Federal Ministry of Niger Delta, is a close relation of the suspect.

Ebitu Blog had reported how 26-year-old Miss Iniubong Umoren, 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 ‘Iniubong Umoren’. He also 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 having lured his victim to his house in the guise of giving her (Miss Iniubong Umoren) 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.

Late Miss Iniubong Umoren Lagos-based friend, Umo Uduak, who initially raised the alarm on social media informed the Urua police division on April 29 but the operatives did not swing to action until April 30, following a 24-hour guideline. The police usually wait for 24 hours to see if people declared missing would reappear before launching a search for them.

Mr Akpan’s father was arrested on April 30 and the culprit was arrested later that day. The suspect’s arrest was made on May 1.

However, Mr Ezeugo and Mr Effiong in separate interviews with PREMIUM TIMES, both men explained that they were only in talks with the culprit to facilitate his arrest.

Ebitu Blog further obtained a statement issued by Mr Effiong through his Facebook account narrating his link to the culprit.
