‘It will be recalled that in the run-up to the 2011 general elections Akwa Ibom held unenviable record of being the goriest killing field in the entire country, and the ACN’s spokesman in the state Mr. Francis Effanga was a thorn in the flesh of the PDP rampaging machinery of oppression and destruction of lives and properties, a role which earned him unjustified persecution, arrest and detention,” the statement said.

It added that the gruesome murder of Mrs. Erasmus Effanga and Mr. Basil Effanga confirms that the reign of politics of intolerance, assassinations and kidnappings of the PDP in Akwa Ibom State is far from over, noting that it has so far claimed over 100 lives.The ACN called on President Goodluck Jonathan to immediately direct the relevant security agencies to investigate and fish out the culprits.
