The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has concluded plans to parade Uduak Frank Akpan, the suspected killer of a job seeker in the state, Iniubong Umoren, on Friday.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Odiko Macdon, disclosed that the reason behind the move was to dismiss rumour of the death of the suspected killer in police custody.
He further lamented that the people are frustrating police’s efforts, adding that it is not possible for the police to allow a suspect to commit suicide in detention.
He said, “How can we allow him to commit suicide? How can he hang himself by tying his trousers to the metal frame of his cell door? How?”

EKO HOT BLOG had earlier reported that the victim had gone missing while attending a job interview in Akwa Ibom last Thursday after she tweeted via her handle, @HinyHumoren, that she needed a job and some persons had suggested prospective employers to her.
However, the news of her death broke out on social media as one of her friends disclosed on Twitter in the early hours of Sunday that Humoren was raped and killed by one Uduak Frank Akpan.
Meanwhile, the state Commissioner of Police, CP Andrew Amiengheme, has debunked reports circulating that the suspect committed suicide while in custody.
The police commissioner described the rumour as the figment of the writer’s imagination, noting that the police would not be distracted with speculations.
