A former Chairman of Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom, Mr Usen Ekene, a police corporal, and two kidnappers have died in a security operation to rescue Ekene . The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ekene had been kidnapped by gunmen who demanded N50million ransom from his family before he could be freed. He was abducted three weeks ago at Nyara Enyin Ntonguno, a village in Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area. A source told NAN that when the villagers uncovered the kidnappers’ den, they informed the police, who mobilised to free Ekene. The Public Relations Officer of the State Police Command, DSP Etim Dickson, confirmed the incident in Uyo on Tuesday. Dickson said that Ekene, a police corporal and two assailants died in the process. He said that a member of the joint patrol team sustained serious injury. Dickson said, “It is a big blow to the force. You see, these are some of the things we suffer during rescue operations. Rescuing people in a joint operation is not all that simple. The story is true. “One of our police operatives died, and an officer from the joint patrol team sustained serious injury in the process. Two corpses of the kidnappers had been picked up. “The kidnappers had the boldness to fire at the police first. The police shot back at them, killed their two colleagues. “It was unfortunate that we were unable to rescue Ekene. But what I am not sure is whether Ekene died in the process of gun battle. “What I am told is that Ekene was an old man. He was kidnapped for three weeks. Keeping him in that forest, the man might have developed some symptoms which might lead to his exhaustion. “I understand from friends that they were demanding N50 million, which was too high. We got to know this through calls to some friends. The man died before he could be rushed to the hospital.”

Hmmmmmmm....

The academic staff of polytechnics in Plateau on Tuesday joined the nationwide strike declared by the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP). ASUP leadership had on Monday declared a nationwide strike to protest against an alleged anti-labour stance of the National Assembly which proposed the removal of minimum wage from the exclusive legislative list of the constitution to the concurrent list. Mr Istifanus Kumwar, Chairman of ASUP, College of Health and Technology, Pankshin, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Pankshin that the decision became necessary due to its importance to the union. “We have to join our counterparts in the nationwide strike to fight injustice being meted out to us by the powers that be; we refuse to be treated as slaves. “The national assembly must rescind its current anti-labour posture in the interest of industrial peace; the endangered soul of the tertiary institutions must be rescued, “ he said. Kumwar said the decision to join the strike was “very painful“, considering that the Plateau Government had “no-work-no-pay“ rule which would leave members losing their salaries. According to him, the strike is worth it and members in the state are prepared to take the pain to see that things turned good for ASUP. “Some of our members who engaged in strikes in the past had lost five months salaries, and here again is another sacrifice they are ready to make, “ he said.(NAN)
