The People’s Democratic Party Chairman of Eket Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, Chief Eshiet Usung-Inwang, was on Tuesday evening killed by unidentified gunmen in his house, in Ikot Uso Ekong, Eket.
A family source, who spoke in a
quivering tone, and on condition of anonymity, to our correspondent on
Wednesday in Eket on the incident, said the gun men were previously seen
hanging and patrolling the vicinity of Chief Eshiet Usung-Inwang's house with motor
bikes.
He said, “The men followed him
into his parlour as visitors who were waiting for him on a good mission,
only to pour several bullets into his chest and head as soon as he
asked them to seat down and present their case.’’
A neighbour to the deceased, Mr.
Etim Edogho, said when the Eket Divisional Police Officer, Mr. Dike
Uchechi, was informed of the development, he sent a police search team
to comb the area and its surrounding, as well as mount road blocks in
some major streets to apprehend the hoodlums.
Edogho also revealed that the
death of Inwang might be connected with disagreements that arose last
week after a heated debate over the zoning of the Akwa Ibom State
governoship position to Eket Senatorial District.
