Breaking News: Manhunt For Gov Akpabio Begins by wisestman(op): 9:12pm On Sep 14, 2015
Arms/cash stockpiling scandal:

FG begins manhunt for Akpabio

...Withdraws diplomatic passport

...SSS discovers secret safe in Akpabio's room

...EFCC to take custody of stashed cash

The Federal Government might have begun a major manhunt for former Governor of Akwa Ibom State and embattled Senate Minority Leader, Chief Godswill Akpabio over allegation of stockpiling arms and ammunition at the presidential wing of the government lodge in Uyo where he (Akpabio)is currently occupying months after he left office as Governor of the state. During last weeks Thursdays invasion, two rooms staked to the roof with American dollars were discovered.

Other items discovered was a secret armoury with sophisticated guns, ammunition, bullet proof vests, explosives and a secret tower where highly sensitive and classified documents were hidden. The invasion by the Special Unit of the DSS who arrived Uyo from Abuja was carried out without the knowledge of the Akwa Ibom State Director of the SSS to avoid any leakage that would have compromised the operation.

During the operation, an extremely rattled Governor Udom Emmanuel who was not in at the Government House at the commencement of the raid hurriedly rushed back to meet the operation at an advanced stage. He was alleged to have put a call across to his predecessor who instructed the Governor not to allow the DSS agents conducting the raid remove a "secret safe" that was discovered in one of the rooms. It was not immediately clear what was the content of the safe. "Udom,listen to me, your life depends on what is inside that safe. On no account should you allow the SSS take or open that safe", Akpabio was alleged to have instructed the Governor. After the telephone conversation with Akpabio, a visible shaken Emmanuel was alleged to have jumped on top the safe to resist the SSS's attempt to take the safe away. "Over my dead body will I allow you carry this safe. My life depends on this safe," the Governor allegedly said while still holding tight to the safe from the rooftop of it he laid. The rooms were later cordoned off by the SSS before the EFCC moved in to secure the busted cash.

Before now, Akpabio had left the country last Tuesday ostensibly to receive medical treatment following an accident he had in Abuja on his way to the airport. Few days after his departure on medical grounds even after he was declared fit by medical doctors who attended to him at the National Hospital Abuja, the accident, preliminary investigation indicates might have been stage managed as a pretext to his fleeing the country. For now, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has raised a panel to probe the accident. The American Embassy whose car was involved in the crash, has also raised a team to help local investigators working to unravel the factors behind the mysterious accident which affected only Akpabio even when the car allegedly tumbled.

According to an FRSC investigator, "There is more to the alleged accident involving Akpabio. I can tell you it seems fake. Many questions are begging for answers. Why for instance did it affect only his car? How come only him was alleged to have been affected and nothing wrong with the drivers of the cars involved in the crash? How come Governor Emmanuel was in the National Hospital just moments after he was admitted? Why would he still decide to travel out after he was discharged and certified fit by doctors who attended to him at the National Hospital? Why was he planning to leave the country just two days to Wednesday that he was billed to start his defence at the election tribunal?",the source asked

The manhunt for the fugitive former Governor if he fails to return to the country soon,will be a collaboration between Nigerian security forces as well as foreign security bodies such as the American FBI, Interpol and the British Intelligence Agency, the M16. Already, the federal government through the Immigration Service has withdrawn the former governors diplomatic passport..

Nigeria, why should a former governor still be occupying space in government house? Akpabio must definitely be punished for his illegal possession of cash and firearms.

The battle has just begun. The battle between darkness and light. The battle to save Nigeria from liquidation as a result of looting. A new Sherif is new town.

Re: Breaking News: Manhunt For Gov Akpabio Begins by lawbabs: 9:21pm On Sep 14, 2015
Not sure of this source but if this is true, then Akpabio should be prepared for a long prison term. Now I know why he begged OBJ before the election to back GEJ, that he doesn't want to go to jail

Ode Godswill Akpabio is a very strong and powerful politician!!! It is easier for Tinubu to install the senate president than for Akpabio who is the senate minority leader to spend a day in cell

This what I analysed to my friends last week that Akpobio orchestrated that accident to run out of the country. Imagine having safe piled with dollars and arms and ammunitions that can be used to start a small army. The FG should just collaborate with their foreign counterparts to repartraite the man to face the law sharp for money laundry and other charges ASAP! !!! angry shocked

Where in the article den say anything about PMB withdrew passport? Or this is just another reflection of your own idiocy and inability to read and comprehend basic english words?

Look in the mirror before uttering the word olodo because you are the biggest olodo...
Re: Breaking News: Manhunt For Gov Akpabio Begins by Nobody: 9:48pm On Sep 14, 2015
two rooms staked to the roof with American dollars were discovered
This is how to identify when APC and their media arms start lieing again.

Let them show us the room stacked with dollars and ammunition
