\n

The traditional ruler of Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River, Etiyin Maurice Edet, was on Sunday night abducted by gunmen at his residence in the council area.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that an aide to the traditional ruler was shot dead in the process of the kidnapping.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson of the state Police Command, SP Irene Ugbo, confirmed the incident but said details were unknown to her as at press time.<\/p>\n

A source, however, said the traditional ruler\u2019s aide was killed as he tried to prevent his principal from being abducted.<\/p>\n

Akpabuyo, notorious for criminal activities, is less than 15 kilometres from Calabar, the capital city of the state.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Prof Patrick Egaga of the University of Calabar, Unical, has been released by his abductors after 26 days in captivity.<\/p>\n

Egaga, who is Unical\u2019s Director of SERVICOM, was abducted in the institution\u2019s staff quarters after which his abductors demanded a ransom of N50 million.<\/p>\n

NAN reports that Calabar and its environs have witnessed increase in cases of abduction in the past few months.<\/p>\n

The targets for abduction are usually lecturers, lawyers, medical doctors, clergymen and high profile individuals.<\/p>\n
