Community Leaders Demand Investigation into Abatai's Death
The Eka Midim Community Worldwide and village heads in Abak Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom, have urged the state government to investigate the suspicious death of Obong Saviour Abatai, who was the Chairman of the Midim Abak Clan Council and Village Head of Ekpat Iduot. Apostle Sylvester Ibanga, Chairman of the Conference of Village Heads in Abak LGA, reported that Abatai died on September 16, 2026, after allegedly vomiting blood.
The last person seen with him was Nsikan Okon Peter, a foreman at Abatai's construction site, who visited him late on September 15, 2026. Ibanga raised concerns over Peter's actions, including a request for Abatai's ATM PIN, despite the deceased showing no signs of illness prior to the visit.
The community condemned derogatory statements against Prof. Nkeruwem Etukudo, urging respect for his reputation and calling for an end to misinformation. They demanded a thorough investigation into the circumstances of Abatai's death and related social media allegations.
