A’Ibom govs’ driver not an
impersonator –Govt
The Akwa Ibom State Government has
refuted reports that Governor Udom
Emmanuel’s official driver is not a real
policeman but an impostor.
The state Commissioner for Information,
Mr. Aniekan Umanah, gave the
clarification in a statement on Tuesday.
Umanah said the driver, Bassey Edet, is a
bonafide policeman and absolved the
officer of allegations of defrauding banks.
The statement read, “Contrary to a false
report that the official driver of Governor
Emmanuel is not a policeman, Akwa Ibom
State Commissioner for information and
Communications, Mr. Aniekan Umanah
says Mr. Bassey Edet is a bonafide officer
of the Force.
“Speaking in his office on the story in The
Punch Newspaper of Monday, September
14, 2015 purporting that the driver is
involved in police impersonation saga, Mr.
Umanah said that Edet is a certified,
trained spy policeman and therefore,
cannot be said to be an impersonator.
“The Information boss said that Mr. Edet’s
Police Force Identification Number is
1522, having attended Police Training
School, Ikeja, Lagos State, and wondered
how he could be accused of breaching any
rules by wearing his uniform.”
The commissioner dismissed as false, the
allegation that the governor’s driver was
defrauding financial institutions by taking
multiple salaries, noting “that I have in
good authority that the bank referred to
in that false publication, like other
international organisations, does not hire
drivers, therefore, could not have had his
name on its payroll.”
