Etubom Cobham, who is in his 80s, it was gathered, had just returned from the hospital on Thursday as he has not been in the best health conditions recently.
A family source said, “We are very concerned about his health as he just came back from the hospital the previous day before he was kidnapped. All the drugs that were given to him in the hospital are still here. I don’t know how he will be able to cope wherever they have taken him to without his medicine.
At press time yesterday, his whereabouts are still unknown but according to the source, the kidnappers had gotten in touch with the family. It was learnt that they had demanded for ransom though the amount could not be ascertained.

Kidnappers in Calabar? Well, the Police have enough work to do since a prominent. Etubom is the victim. This will at least keep the Police off the streets of Calabar for awhile. Motorists, both commercial and private will have some days of respite for as long as the search for Etubom Cobham last.
