The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has taken swift action by arresting Mr Ekere Sunday Ebong, a 55-year-old lawyer residing at Plot 40, L Line in Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo, following a distressing family altercation that was captured in a viral video on social media.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Odiko MacDon, at the state Command headquarters in Ikot Akpanabia, expressed deep concern and condemned the dehumanizing assault on the woman involved.
SP MacDon confirmed that the Commissioner of Police (CP), Mr. Olatoye Durosinmi, ordered the immediate arrest of Mr. Ebong, given the severity of the incident.
The suspect, known for a history of perpetrating violent acts against his wife, was apprehended and is currently in police custody awaiting legal proceedings. The PPRO stressed that this prompt action was necessary to prevent further harm, potentially even murder.
