“Today the Ag. Chairman, Dr. Ita Udosen has spoken with the highest levels of the DSS and Nigerian Police Force in the state. Both have confirmed that Uduak is not in their custody. “This might therefore appear more as a criminal abduction or kidnap.

The party will do everything in its power to have Uduak return safely to his family. We enjoin all our faithful to continue to pray for his safe return to his family and our APC fold soonest.”
