Akwa Ibom State is again slipping unnoticeably into insecurity. There is a surprising resurgence of crimes- kidnapping, robbery, murder, child theft, cultism and hooliganism- in the last four months.

This is happening just behind the ovation over a reduction in crime rate under the Udom Emmanuel’s administration.

Akwa Ibom ranked somewhere close to the top in violent crimes in a 2014 report released by the Police. Scores of people were kidnapped, murdered, in an unprecedented pace between 2007 and 2015. Akwa Ibom people still think that some of the kidnap and murder cases were politically motivated, and were sanctioned by government.

There was drastic reduction in these crimes at the beginning of the current administration. This is no longer so.

It should perplex everyone knowing that while the government-federal security forces- is winning the fight against militancy on the Effiat waterways in the Mbo mangrove island, the maritime border between Nigeria and Cameroon; the towns have hopped into insecurity.

In the past few months, it has been, kidnapping and assassination in Ukanafun; cruel cult activities in Ikot Ekpene and Eket; child theft in Ibesikpo Asutan; hooliganism in Mkpat Enin; armed robbery and kidnapping in Uyo and Uruan; communal clashes in Itu. These are happening unnoticeably.

Dr. Idongesit Udom, Proprietor of Sure Foundation Polytechnic, an indigene of Ukanafun was kidnapped in Eket in April. Two expatriates were also kidnapped the same day in Eket. While Dr. Udom was still held captive by his kidnappers, the Secretary of Ukanafun local government council, Mr. Ime Atakpa, was gruesomely murdered. The immediate past transition chairman of Ukanafun, Abasiono Udomfu and his aide Akaninyene Ibuot have been arrested in connection to Atakpa’s murder.

Rather than conclude your work Herr you're referring to a blog.

Truly there is a very high incidence of insecurity and cult war in Akwa Ibom State. On the other hand, the Police seem helpless in this direction. Especially in Ikot Ekpene where cultists kill in broad daylight. The only disheartening part of this is where the police could not make any arrest or where the innocent is, hr is granted bail in the sum of N30k or above.

If not for 2 detachments of Police that came into the State, it would have got worst by now.
