Gunmen on Saturday, May 18, 2024 kidnapped the Paramount
Ruler of Mbo Local Government Area (LGA) of Akwa Ibom state, HRM Ogwong Okon A.
Abang at his palace in Ebughu.
Though the abductors are yet to contact the family of the
victim for a possible ransom, the Akwa Ibom State Police Command has confirmed
the abduction of the monarch.
The Police Public Relations Officer, (PPRO) of the command,
ASP Timfon John, who confirmed the incident, said the Commissioner of Police, Ayilara
Waheed Adedamola and other Service Commanders, including the Commissioner for
Internal Security, have moved down to Mbo local council to ascertain the
situation.
She said, “I can confirm that CP and other Service
Commanders & Commissioner for Internal Security were there and addressed

doctors down tools over the kidnap of their colleague, Dr John Robbin Esu, who
is still in the kidnappers den nearly three weeks after.
Only last week also, the wife of Chief Asukwo Eweme Ulap
Okon, aka Levile, a prominent political figure was also abducted in Oron.
