The Labour Party candidate to represent the people of Bakassi/Akpabuyo/Calabar South Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Hon Dominic Edem, was kidnapped by unknown gunmen in Calabar on Sunday night. Edem, who is the former deputy speaker of the Cross River House of Assembly and former member of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), was whisked away by gunmen who invaded his residence on Sunday night. 
According to his aide, “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. The State police public relations officer, ASP Bassey Hogan, is yet to confirm the incident as efforts to reach him proved abortive.
