The lady had raised an alarm on Twitter on Thursday, April 29, over the disappearance of her friend, Umoren.
According to Umoh, the deceased had gone for a job interview at an undisclosed location along airport road in Uyo, the state capital. Some hours later, she got a frantic call from Umoren and that was the last time she heard from her as the phone has been switched off.
Reacting to the lady's cry for help, the police said two persons have been arrested over the incident, and the anti-kidnapping squad in Akwa Ibom state was investigating the case.
Police spokesman Odiko Macdon said an autopsy will be conducted and justice served.

@drpenking had a word of advice for the Nigeria police - stop profiling people based on their looks.
Sometime in 2020, another young Nigerian lady, Nancy Rosemary, had gone missing in Lagos state.
Her sister, Chinenye MaryJane put out a call for help on Wednesday, October 7, 2020. According to the sister, Rosemary stays in Ikeja.
She added that her location had been unknown for two weeks and her mobile lines were unreachable. MaryJane said the whole family, especially their old parents, were worried sore.
She, therefore, appealed to Nigerians to give information that could help in locating her.
