Umo Eno Acknowledged for Securing Udoito's Release
Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio (MMI), the umbrella body of the Ibibio ethnic Nationality, praised Governor Umo Eno for his involvement in the release of Princess God’s Own Udoito, who was detained for 270 days. Udoito, an Ekid community rights activist, was arrested after being arraigned before the Akwa Ibom State High Court in January 2026 on multiple charges, including criminal defamation and public nuisance, stemming from her social media publications regarding Governor Eno and the disputed Stubbs Creek Forest Reserve.
Despite pleading not guilty, her detention sparked protests and appeals from various community groups. Following significant advocacy, including protests by Ekid women and youths in Eket, Udoito was released on September 16.
MMI expressed gratitude to Governor Eno for responding to the pleas for her release and acknowledged the efforts of community leaders, including His Eminence Ntenyin (Dr.) Solomon Etuk, for their contributions to resolving the matter peacefully.
