Former deputy Speaker, Cross River House of Assembly and labour party House of Representatives candidate in the State, Hon. Dominic Edem, was abducted by unknown gunmen in Calabar.
According to his aide, the gunmen stormed his residence around 8pm on Sunday night after firing several gun shots to scare people.
Edem, a one time board member of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), is seeking to represent the people of Bakassi/Akpabuyo/Calabar South Federal Constituency in the national assembly.
According to his aide who preferred anonymity, “he went to a church service and as he was coming back they followed him with an Audi car. About five boys came out of the car and started shooting inside his compound and the next thing; they dragged him out and put him inside their car because he was not with any security man.
“Up till now we have not heard from them. The incident happened around 8-9pm in the night”, he added.
Every attempt to contact the State police command public relations officer, ASP Bassey Hogan, via telephone to confirm the incident proved abortive. (Leadership)
