 Police Confirm Abduction of Chevron Staff in Akwa Ibom


The Akwa Ibom Police Command has confirmed the abduction of Mr. Samuel Ekerenam, the owner of Hephzibah Shopping Mall in Eket, located along the Afaha Uqua Obok-Idim road in the Eket Local Government Area.


ASP Timfon John, the State Police Public Relations Officer, provided the update during an interview with journalists in Eket on Tuesday. He confirmed that the abduction took place on Saturday at approximately 10:55 p.m. at Ekerenam's shopping mall.


According to John, armed kidnappers took the victim after killing his personal driver and incapacitating his police escort. The gunmen then abducted Ekerenam.


“The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Joseph Eribo, and his tactical team have visited the crime scene, and efforts are underway to safely rescue the victim,” John stated.


It is worth noting that this incident follows a previous kidnapping of Ekerenam's wife, Mrs. Glory Ekerenam, on October 17, 2019, in Eket. She was held in a kidnapper’s den in Ikot Ubo, Nsit Ubium Local Government Area, until her release.


A family source, who wished to remain anonymous, mentioned that Ekerenam had just returned from work the day he was abducted. The police officer involved in the incident is reportedly in critical condition at an undisclosed hospital.
