The
police in Calabar, Cross River State, have launched a manhunt for an
indigene of Akwa Ibom State simply identified as Ukeme for kidnapping two of
his sister’s children.
Promise
Charles Eyo (5) and Goodluck Charles Eyo (3) were having fun at their No. 93
Esierebom Street, Calabar South Local Government Area home when their uncle
disappeared with them in a jiffy.
Mother
of the missing children, Mrs. Uduak Charles Eyo (38), an indigene of Ndiya Ikot
Offiong in Akwa Ibom State, revealed that on March 6, at about 10am, she went
to the bathroom for a bath leaving her kids under the care of her brother,
Ukeme and one “Papa” who was with them.
Once
through with the shower, she came out but could not trace the where about of
the two children. She took things for granted thinking the kids were with their
uncle for a stroll within the neighbourhood but was soon proved wrong.
But
she became apprehensive when some hours passed without Ukeme returning to the
yard with the children. Repeated calls to his cell phone could not go through
as he had switched off prompting her to become hysteric.
