The abduction occurred in the early morning hours of Tuesday June, 3, 2025, at Ikot Ibritam Junction, but the girl reportedly raised the alarm and thereafter escaped, resulting in her rescue by some ‘Good Samaritans’ in the community.

Udoekpo was later taken to the office of the Oruk Anam LGA Chairman, Hon. Sunday Festus for onward transmission to the police for investigation and possible arrest of her abductors.

According to the Press Secretary to the chairman, Mercy Udoh Edidiong, efforts were currently ongoing to establish contact with the victims’ parents.

“We wish to inform the public that Miss Abasiofon Udeme Udoekpo, a young girl, narrowly escaped an attempted child trafficking incident near Ikot Ibritam Junction.
