A 30-year-old commercial driver, Nsikak Udokang, was burnt to
ashes, Wednesday, by suspected cultists on Etim Ekpo-Iwukem-
Abak Highway in Akwa Ibom State.
According to Harrison Essien, the deceased was born in Calabar in
1988 without seeing his father.
He died a painful death and was buried Thursday in Uyo, without
any family member or relative at the graveyard to perform the
dust to dust and bid him farewell.
His death is coming at a time Nsikak, a driver with Akwa Ibom
Transport Company, AKTC, was planning to bury his mother,
whose body has been in a mortuary for years, due to lack of
funds for burial…
Nsikak’s only surviving brother, who was a fisherman, is said to
have died in a river in Ikang, Cross River State, some years, with
his body not found up till today.
Having lost his entire family and with primary school certificate,
life became extremely difficult for Nsikak, but was lucky to have
gotten a job as a driver with Akwa Ibom State Company, with the
hope that things will get better for him one day.
Wednesday, the 28th of February, 2018, was like every other day
for him. He left his house in Uyo without any sign of illness, not
knowing that he will not return home alive.
From Aba, he took passengers enroute to Uyo, but midway, few
kilometers to the destination, suspected cultists blocked his vehicle
and in a bid to escape, the gunmen opened fire and killed him.
An eyewitness account is that “The hoodlums blocked the road
and robbed people. The AKTC bus ran into them, but tried to
escape. About six cultists shot at it. The bullets ignited fire, which
burnt down the bus. When I heard gunshots, I escaped into Edem
Akai Primary School with my motorcycle and watched the incident
from there.After robbing the passengers, the cultists snatched a
Toyota Camry car and escaped with it.
They took the untarred road through Udianga Enem to their
hideout at Okoyo village. Others followed the stolen car on their
motorcycles.
They took away some pretty young ladies passengers inside the
bush. The hoodlums robbed nearby shops. Policemen, who usually
block Ikot Nya section of the highway, escaped in their van.
After the dust was settled, the upper part of Nsikak’s body,
roasted, was discovered with the lower part including the legs,
burnt beyond recognition.
