Akwa Ibom monarchs have summoned Patience Akpabio, the sister-in-law of Senator Godswill Akpabio, to address murder accusations made against the senator. The traditional rulers of Annang land in Akwa Ibom State issued a directive for her to appear within seven days following alleged false social media posts.

The monarchs expressed concerns over the damaging nature of the posts and emphasized the need for due process to resolve grievances. Failure to comply may result in serious traditional sanctions.

The situation highlights the intersection of social media, traditional customs, and respect for individuals' reputations.
