A relative of the victim, Mr Etim Edet, told NAN in an interview that the gunmen whose number could not be ascertained, gained access to the area in a boat through the creek.

Edet said “several armed men just burst into his house at about 4 a.m on Friday and whisked him away through the narrow canal here.

“They gained access through the creek and after abducting him, they disappeared through the creeks also. Soldiers have been sent to the area as we speak,” he added.
