15 2020, Sir
Sylvester. J Ntefre a former chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in
the Oruk Anam local government area of Akwa Ibom State, was shot dead by
suspected kidnappers at his residence in the Ekparakwa community.
According to a report from the nation, the
assailants came in a black SUV vehicle and shot sporadically into the air to
scare away neighbors. Thereafter they whisked him into a nearby bush where he
was killed.
According to eyewitness reports, the gunshots
attracted youths who raised alarm and started chasing the hoodlums.

eyewitness was quoted as saying;

“By the time the youths started to chase the kidnappers, they had
already abducted the party chief into the nearby bush and shot him severally
while some members of the gang who were waiting in a standby black Jeep
abandoned it, ran out of the car and escaped through the bush.
The community people came out and rolled the Jeep away from that
place. I don’t know where they took it but I am sure they ran away leaving the
car behind.
This incident has some political content. The deceased was known
for being upright in his stand against some contenders in the House of Assembly
race in the area.
This one has surprised everybody. Though kidnapping has been
rampant in this community in the last 8 months this one is politically
motivated.
Every
person kidnapped in this Community pays the ransom and regains freedom but this
one was killed''
The
state police command is yet to comment on this development.
