Whereabout of kidnapped A’Ibom Senator still unknown

The whereabouts of Senator Nelson Effiong, who represented Akwa Ibom South Senatorial district at the National Assembly, is still unknown eight days after he was abducted in Uyo by suspected gunmen.

Effiong, a former Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly was abducted in his sit-out along Oron road on Sunday last week with several others injured during the operation.

Younger brother to the Ex-senator, Chief Eyoh Effiong told reporters that the the family is yet to be contacted by the hoodlums since he was kidnapped eight days ago.

“The people that abducted him have not contacted the family yet. We are hoping that maybe within this week we will hear from them(abductor), but for now nothing, we have not heard anything.” Effiong said.

However, as at the time of filing this report, the state Police have not made any arrest, even after the command commenced a man hunt to trail the hoodlums.

The command’s Public Relations Officer, Odiko Macdon had assured the family and the general public that the command would spare no efforts to trail the hoodlums.

He however said that, “we are yet to make any arrest, the command is still investigating”
