Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has confirmed the abduction of a High Court Judge, Justice Joy Uwana, and her driver in Oron Local Government Area of the state.<\/p>\n

The judge was abducted on Monday along with her driver, while her police orderly was killed in the attack that occurred on the Uyo-Okobo road.<\/p>\n

SP Odiko Macdon, the spokesman for the police command in the state, confirmed the incident to NAN on Tuesday in Uyo.<\/p>\n

He said that the police have commenced an investigation to track the kidnappers and ensure the safe release of the judge and her driver.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Command has received that report\u2014a very bad dastardly act indeed. We are on it and the Commissioner of Police, Olatoye Durosinmi, has ordered a comprehensive investigation into the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been on it all day and we will spare no resources in ensuring that the needful is done to ensure that she reunites with her family.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur heart goes to the family of the deceased officer attached to the judge, who was brutally murdered. It is very unfortunate; this is not what Akwa Ibom is known for,\u201d Macdon said.<\/p>\n

He urged people in the state to go about their normal businesses and assured them that the perpetrators of the heinous crime would be brought to book.<\/p>\n

Macdon said the police command would continue to synergise with sister security agencies to ensure that the state remains peaceful.<\/p>\n
