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.
