Anxiety has persisted in the family of Chief Eyo Okon Edet, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), whose whereabouts remain unknown 11 days after
he was seized by armed hoodlums, who stormed his Filling Station along Marina Road in Oron Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State and whisked him away.
A family source, who would not want to be mentioned, lamented that “everyone in the family including well wishers are in grief over the incident especially when we could not ascertain the motive behind his abduction, because for over 10 days since he was kidnapped, they did not establish contact to demand for ransom, as is always the case when kidnappers carry out such operation for cash.”
