Mr. Okon Uwah, a House of Assembly candidate in Akwa
Ibom State has being killed yesterday while campaigning
in Ward Three in the Ukanafun Local Government Area of
the State. Uwah who was killed was also a former
Deputy Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of
Assembly and was contesting on the platform of the All
Progressives Congress to represent Ukanafun State
Constituency, before meeting his untimely death.
The State Commissioner of Police who spoke to a Punch
reporter confirmed the incident and said the Governor is
angry about the killing and asked him on phone to fish
out his killers.
“I have just spoken with His Excellency, Governor
Godswill Akpabio and he said I should bring all those
responsible to book even if they are members of the
Peoples Democratic Party.
“Because of that I have changed my plan to travel to
Abuja for an engagement. I have moved the Area
Commander in Ikot Ekpene and the Divisional Police
Officers to Ukanafun,” he said. May his soul rest in peace.
