Prince Ukpong Akpabio

Prince Ubong Akpabio is no stranger to bad publicity, it seems to follow him like a shadow wherever he goes. However his recent shenanigans in a popular Uyo nightclub takes the cake, and will do much to dent his image and that of his relation and benefactor, Governor Akpabio.

Sources from Akwa Ibom contacted The Herald with reports that Prince Akpabio after taking his usual dose of liquid intoxicants at Play Terrace nightclub left his table and began to fondle a woman unknown to him. When she refused, he is said to have strangled her, and tore her clothing to shreds.

Here is how  Connoisseurng is reporting it

Governor Godswill Akpabio’s relation and former his former Personal Assistant, Prince Ukpong Akpabio abducted a man simply identified as Uche and slapped the Uruan Council Chairman, Mr. Tony Akan in an ensuing night club brawl in the wee hours of Thursday, 20th June, 2013.
The dark-skinned dude was at Play Terrace, a popular exclusive night club for a Wednesday night party. On getting drunk, Prince left his table where he was hanging out with some girls, to another table where he started touching sensitive body parts of the girls there.

Some of the girls whom he was caressing who knew who he is kept mute without saying no to his advances.
But hell was let loose when one of the girls who didn’t know him too well rebuffed his advances. Prince who is now a political godfather to many in the state was vexed by the lady’s action and in the process started bullying her and ultimately tried to strangle her.

A certain Ekemini who is a close ally of his got punched while trying to rescue the girl from Prince. As it became serious that Prince may strangle the lady to death, an unnamed young man who is in his 20’s also went to get the girl off Prince’s fists. It is there he left the lady and took hold of the young man and manhandled him in the process.

In a bid to free the young man, the council chairman of Uruan Local Government Area, Hon. Tony Akan who is Prince’s loyalist got a slap from his intoxicated political godfather, quite to the surprise of this reporter who was physically present at the club.

It was in the process that a certain Uche who works in the club went to report the issue the owner of the club, Captain Iniobong Ekong, who unfortunately was not found at his office. On returning to the club, Uche got hold of Prince’s hands in order to get the other young man free.
When Prince finally left him, Uche was the next victim as he was manhandled by the Essien Udim born University of Uyo law undergraduate. Prince left the club hall and went downstairs to wait for Uche. When Uche surfaced down, he was ordered by Prince and his police orderlies to enter the boot of his car.

Hon. Tony Akan who was still at the scene said the guy did nothing and should not be put in the boot of the car.
Uche was forced in to the boot and was driven to Prince’s house at Ewet Housing. Someone however called a friend of one of Prince’s police orderlies in Port Harcourt and alerted him of the situation. It was then that the Port Harcourt based policeman called his colleague (Prince’s orderly) and told him to release the abducted Uche before the press gets wind of the situation.
Efforts by www.CONNOISSEURng.com to get across to Prince Akpabio to comment on the matter proved abortive as his phone line was not going through and an sms sent to the line was not replied before this post was made.
