The former Senator who represented Eket Senatorial district in Akwa Ibom State, was kidnapped in Uyo on September 5.
Confirming his release to newsmen, Nkereuwem Enyongekere, the publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, said the former lawmaker was freed on Friday October 29.
“The All Progressives Congress Akwa Ibom State Chapter wishes to intimate the APC family and the general public of the release of Sen Nelson Effiong who was kidnapped on Sunday evening of September 5, 2021.
The Senator gained his freedom just yesterday (Friday, October 30, 2021) from the enclave and grip of the men of the underworld.
It is our deepest concern as a party to register our sincere gratitude to God Almighty and all who contributed in one way or the other to facilitate his release and return to his family and party.
