Hoodlums kidnapped HRM Ogwong Okon A. Abang, the paramount monarch of Akwa Ibom state’s Mbo local government area.
At around 9 p.m. on Saturday, the monarch was allegedly kidnapped from his palace in Ebughu.
Remember that doctors in the state have ceased services due to the kidnapping of their colleague, Dr. John Robbin Esu, who is still being held by his kidnappers.
Similar to the kidnapping of Dr. Esu in Oron LGA, the abduction of the Paramount Ruler of Mbo, another area within the Oron nation, raises further concerns about the collapsed security infrastructure.
This has made the Oron nation increasingly vulnerable to criminal activities in recent times.
The wife of Chief Asukwo Eweme Ulap Okon, aka Levile, a prominent political figure was also abducted in Oron last week.
