Akwa Ibom Gov's Driver Not An Impersonator by udyheart01(m): 8:11am On Sep 16, 2015 |
Contrary to a false report that the official driver of
Governor Udom Emmanuel is not a personnel of the
Nigeria Police, 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 a 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
could be accused of breaching any rules by wearing his
uniform.
Mr Umanah, who displayed photocopies of Mr Edet’s
Police Identity Card and Certificates, explained that the
officer is a duly trained personnel of the police, working
with the State Government.
He 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 report false
publication, like other international organizations, does
not hire drivers, therefore, could not have had his name
on its payroll.”
While decrying the partisan disposition of some
reporters in Akwa Ibom, which he said is well known,
Mr. Umanah stressed that it is unfortunate that the
writer of the story allowed sentiments to becloud his
reportage of events in the state. He charged journalists
to avoid being used by any persons or interests to
subvert the truth and to always ensure fairness and
objectivity in their reports.
The Commissioner reaffirmed that Governor Udom
Emmanuel and all members of his cabinet are law-
abiding, and would not engage in any act that is
unlawful or inimical to the peace, progress and
development of the society.
