Uyo—A chieftain of All Progressives Congress, APC, in Akwa Ibom State, one Bassey, on Sunday attacked the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Udom Emmanuel, Mr. Amanam Nkanga, giving him machete cuts on both hands and head.

Amanam Nkanga is a younger brother to former Military Governor of Akwa Ibom State and National Chairman of Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, Air Commodore Idongesit Nkanga.

Vanguard gathered that Nkanga and two other victims were attacked about 6p.m., in Nkanga’s hometown Ikot Nya (Ward 4), in Nsit Ibom Local Government Area of the state on their arrival at a meeting they were invited to attend.

When Vanguard contacted Air Commodore Nkanga yesterday, he confirmed the attack, saying that his findings indicated that the attack was planned and that he was actually their target and not his brother.

However, when contacted over the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Odiko MacDon, said that the Police were yet to receive report on it.
