Gunmen kidnap ex-Akwa Ibom permanent secretary after church meeting

Ignatius Brown, a former Akwa Ibom State permanent secretary, was abducted by gunmen on Monday in the state’s Abak Local Government Area.

Following a church meeting with members of the church that evening, Brown, the chairman of the Saint John’s Catholic Church Council in the Abak LGA, was kidnapped as he made his way home.

Before that fatal day, the retired permanent secretary who was from Etinan Local Government Area had lived in Abak for many years.

According to an eyewitness who gave his name as Mr. Aniefiok Marcus, the thugs overtook the PS’s driver a few metres from his home after following the PS from the church along the Abak-Ikot Ekpene route.

The hoodlums, he claimed, “tailed him from the Saint John’s Catholic Cathedral along Abak-Ikot Ekpene road, and overpowered the driver close to the house at Udokpo street, after shooting sporadically to frighten away other vehicles and commuters on the road.”

“When they (the kidnappers) were able to stop Sir Brown’s Toyota RAV4 SUV, they bundled the driver out, took control of the car, and sped off with him down on the ground.

He did, however, note that after the victim vanished to an unidentified location, the automobile was later found abandoned along the Abak-Ekparakwa route.

We have already received the report, and a preliminary investigation is under place right now, he stated.
