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.
