The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has debunked rumors going viral on social media that Uduak Frank Akpan, the suspected killer of a job seeker in the state, Iniobong Umoren, had kicked the bucket in their custody.
CP Andrew Amiengheme, the Commissioner of Police, made this known on Thursday, 13th May, while speaking to Daily Post.
He denied that suspect had committed suicide while in custody.
CP Amiegheme who described the rumor as the figment of the writer’s imagination, wondered why some individuals would derive pleasure in peddling falsehood.
He added that the police would not be distracted with speculations, noting that the command would ensure discreet investigation into the matter.
In his words, “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, or maybe he committed suicide on social media. This is not true please!”
