One Abasifreke Effiong has taken to his facebook page to lament the gruesome murder of one Ukeme Effanga in Uruan local government area of Akwa Ibom State. Below is his account:

One Ukeme Efanga has been shot dead opposite a police station at Nwaniba, Uruan local government area.

The late Efanga is a father of three children according to his brother.

The deceased was reportedly shot dead by one Etim Effiong Ekpo, who is said to be an elder of the Apostolic Church in Ifiayong Esuk.

Eye witnesses said there was a verbal disagreement between the deceased who was a supporter of Senator John Udoedehe, and Ekpo, a supporter of Obong Nsima Ekere.

The eye witnesses said after the argument, Ekpo went back to his house and brought a gun and shot Efanga on the back at close range.

The lifeless body of the deceased was taken to the state secretariat of the party but no official of the party was at the office as at the time. 

It is clear as at the time of filing this report if the case has been officially reported to the police.

Meanwhile the governorship primary in Uruan has not been held. The divisional Police Officer for Uruan, Supol Abia has returned materials meant for the exercise to the state secretariat of the party.
