See another case that bears similarities to the Abuja bombing saga.

The wife of the former military administrator of Ogun and Rivers States, Sam Ewang, has been kidnapped (2 days ago).

Comfort Ewang was kidnapped on her way into her private school, Beulah International School, at Ekom Iman, Uyo-the Akwa Ibom state capital, yesterday morning.

Confirming the kidnap to NEXT, Mr Ewang stated that kidnappers are "demanding that I step down for Akpabio (the governor of Akwa ibom state) and pay them a ransom of N300,000," adding that he has been under immense pressure since the incident occurred.

Mr Ewang, is a gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) in Akwa Ibom where the incumbent Governor, Godswill Akpabio is seeking a second term in office on the platform of the People's Democratic Party (PDP).

The former military administrator officially declared his intention for the gubernatorial race last week at Beulah International School where he had to relocate to after officials of the Ibom hall; a state government owned auditorium denied him the use of the hall.

Mr Ewang is the second aspirant for the Akwa Ibom's governor office to suffer the kidnap of a relative following the abduction of the aged mother of Ini Udonwa in May 2010 after he declared his intention as well.
