Uduak Frank Akpan, the alleged killer of a 24-year-old job seeker in Akwa Ibom State, Iniubong Umoren, has pleaded guilty to murder when he was arraigned before a State High Court judge in Uyo on Monday. The 26-year-old suspect who was arraigned alongside his father, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge of rape. Uduak Akpan was arrested in May by the Akwa Ibom State Police Command for allegedly raping, killing and burying the 24-year-old Iniubong, after he had lured her to a fake job interview. The decessed had gone missing on Thursday, April 29, after she responded to a job vacancy at an undisclosed location along the Airport Road axis of Uyo, the state capital, and that was the last time her family heard from her. Shortly after leaving home on the day she got missing, she had reportedly made a frantic phone call to her brother and a desperate voice note to her friend in Lagos. It was the friend who then escalated the issue on Twitter which was picked by many Nigerians and was broadcasted severally, drawing the attention of the police, leading to a manhunt being mounted for the alleged suspect before he was arrested a few days later.
