“The Police Command in Akwa Ibom has been updated about a report going around that Ibeno indigenes killed two Eket sons in Ibeno Local Government Area (LGA).
“As a command, we do not join issues with either two local governments because the constitution mandates us with the responsibility of providing security for the entire Akwa Ibom and not a particular local government area.
“However, our attention had been drawn to what we can call hatred and generalisation from the two local governments,’’ he said.
Macdon said that the command had removed the bodies and deposited them at the mortuary.
He said that the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Amiengheme Andrew, had ordered a discreet investigation into the matter.
