The son-in-law of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Prince
Goodwill Edward, was on Friday shot by unknown gunmen in Calabar. Edward was reportedly
shot in his State Housing Estate residence.
He is the Special Adviser on Youths Affairs to Governor Ben Ayade. Although the
severity of injuries sustained in the attack could not be ascertained, it was
learnt he is presently receiving treatment at an undisclosed medical facility
in Calabar.
Edward, who is from Abi LGA of the state, got married
Jonathan’s daughter in a very lavish and publicised wedding in 2014. When
contacted by Punchng, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hafiz Inuwa, said
the matter had yet to be reported officially to the police.
He said from records, it was not the first time that Edward had been attacked. Inuwa said, “They attempted him. This was the third or fourth time that this thing is happening.
Do you know that as at now I’m talking to you there is no official report about it? We are not going to wait until the matter is reported. We are the police we know our responsibility.
Even if they have a reason for not reporting which we are not going to sit down until the matter is reported, we have the responsibility to investigate and by the grace of God we will go after those responsible."

Oh so he's the idiot SA on youths affairs. Let's just hope he's not one of the cultists currently holding this state to ransom for the incompetence of one. Only cultists are getting "hit" now, so his being shot is suspicious. Now that it involves the son of an ex-president, the police have woken from slumber. It is well with this country
