The convoy of Senator Akon Eyakenyi (PDP, Akwa Ibom South) has been involved in an accident which reportedly claimed the lives of a couple.
The unfortunate incident occurred along the Calabar-Itu Highway as the senator was returning to Uyo, the state capital, after her campaign tour.
Senator Eyakenyi is the running mate to the PDP governorship candidate for the state, Pastor Umo Eno, in next year’s election.

Youths of Akon-Itam community in Itu Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State staged a protest against the senator over the couple’s death.
One of the youths, Comrade Utibe Inyang, explained that the convoy rammed into the couple on a motorcycle while trying to navigate the busy highway.
He said what angered the youths mostly was the poor handling of the compensation package of a paltry N2 million which the senator gave to the family to quell the case.
