LEADERSHIP gathered that he was abducted on Sunday night along with his wife, Deaconess Etuk, while returning from shopping for their new born set of twins and family.

Etuk and his wife were said to have left the twins with the house – help for shopping along Oron Road in the Uyo metropolis.

“On their return, Elder Etuk parked and blew the car horn for minutes, yet nobody quickly opened the gate for the couple.

“Suddenly, a mini-bus covered with tarpaulin to shield the identity of the occupants (armed gunmen) barricaded the car by the gate of his house at Akpasak Estate, Mbiabong off Oron Road, Uyo, and ordered them out of their car at gun – point before whisking them away to an unknown destination,” a family source said, adding that “since then, the kidnappers are yet to establish contact with the family.”

However, the police public relations officer, CSP Odiko MacDon, who confirmed the kidnap of Etuk from Oruk Anam LGA, said the commissioner of police (CP), Waheed Ayilara, had since mobilised operatives of to rescue the couple and bring the perpetrators to justice.

‘‘We are aware of the kidnap incident of the director of finance and wife. The matter had been reported to us and the state commissioner of police, Waheed Ayilara, has directed the appropriate unit in the Police force to investigate the matter with a view to rescuing the kidnapped victims.

 

‘‘We are on top of the situation. In no distant time, the kidnappers would be arrested and brought to book. We are not leaving any stone unturned in an effort to secure the life and property of the Akwa Ibom people. Kidnapping is a crime that is short-lived, and I do know why people will kidnap others for ransom.

I can assure you that very soon, the victims will be rescued and reunited with their family,’’ CSP MacDon said.
