The Governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State, Obong Umana Umana has taken his political battle with the Governor of the state, Udom Emmanuel to a new dimension by abducting the elder brother of the Commissioner for Information, Mr Ifiok Umana.

Umana is currently challenging the election of Mr Udom Emmanuel at the Court of Appeal after theGovernorship election Petition Tribunal upheld the Election of the Governor and ordered a re-run in 18 local government areas.

Mr Ifiok John Umanah, a retired banker was Tuesday evening whisked off into a red Toyota Highlander Jeep to an unknown destination.

According to eye witnesses at the scene of the incidence, Mr Ifiok Umanah was dragged away by gun-wielding unknown men who chanted 'udom must go' as they shot into the air while drawing him into their own car.

It would be recalled that intelligence reports had revealed that APC two weeks ago, had marked some key PDP stakeholders for attack, with the hope of weakening the Udom Emmanuel 'as support base.

Several media channels had also reported that some alleged cult boys had been approached and induced with huge sums of money to destabilise the mindset of Governor Emmanuel's supporters by either kidnapping or maiming their love ones.

Although the commissioner could not be reached at press time, a close family member confirmed the development and said the security agencies have been contacted and promptly informed of the saga.

Umana recently issued a press statement and published it on page 38 of The Nation Newspaper on Monday 29th November, 2015 accusing Mr Aniekan Umanah of coordinating attacks on his person and the All Progressive Congress in Akwa Ibom State.

According to Umana, "The smear campaign, through a network of social media, the printed press, radio and television, is coordinated by the state's Commissioner for information, Mr Aniekan Umanah, in the express instruction of the state Governor, Deacon Udom Emmanuel"

Umana also said that "On 13 August 2015, the Aniekan Umanah propaganda machine levied a totally false allegation against the President and Commander-in-Chief, President Muhammadu Buhari, by accusing him of abandoning Umana..."

Umana also said that On " 3 October 2015, Aniekan Umanah instructed his team to publish false information that Umana Okon Umana, Governorship candidate of the state APC was attacking the President for nominating Senator Udoma Udo Udoma for ministerial appointment... "

Umana has on various fora openly attacked Aniekan Umanah for instigating the press against him and for always defending the Udom Emmanuel government against the lies spilled from the APC camp.

The kidnap comes barely few hours after the Akwa Ibom Information Commissioner foiled attempts by the APC guber hopeful to misinform the Akwa Ibom people about proceedings from the Court of Appeal.

Mr Ifiok Umanah is still in the hands of his abductors.
