Law enforcement authorities in Akwa Ibom State have launched an intensive investigation to track down the individuals responsible for the killing of a local resident named Unwana Okon. The victim, who lived in Ndot Village located within the Oruk Anam Local Government Area, was discovered dead following an apparent targeted trap involving a phone call about a commercial transaction.
According to details released by the state police command, the matter came to light when the victim's brother formally reported the incident at a local police station. The preliminary findings indicate that the woman received a telephone communication directing her to travel to Mbiaikot Village under the guise of selling agricultural produce, specifically Afang leaves. After answering the call and leaving her home, she did not return safely, and her body was later discovered with personal belongings missing, including her mobile device and an undisclosed amount of cash.
In response to the violent incident, the state Commissioner of Police ordered a comprehensive inquiry and transferred the file from the local division to the command's specialized Violence Crime Response Unit.
