GOV Emmanuel’s SSA Security Matters Abducted

By Emeka Samuel, Uyo

The Senior Special Adviser on Security Matters to Governor Udom Emmanuel, Capt Iniobong Ekong (Rtd) has been abducted. 

Ekong was said to have been picked midnight by soldiers allegedly  sent by the GOC of the 6 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General Jamil Sarham purportedly on a petition written by Senator Akpabio. 

The Commissioner for Information, Akwa Ibom State who confirmed the abduction said Capt. Ekong  who was picked in the night is being held incommunicado at an unknown location in Port Harcourt.

“The COAS has said that the Military had no role to play in the elections. When did it become the duty of the Army to investigate petitions, arrest and detain people?”.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Odiko McDon said the police was yet to receive such information. He however promised to make necessary contacts and swing into investigations. 

Meanwhile election materials have arrived in most polling units in Uyo, the state capital as INEC staff are seen waiting for 8am to commence accreditation of voters. 

Most centres were ready before 7.30 and merely waiting for voters to arrive and commence voting by 8.am
