Mboto said all the routes to the areas have been locked down by the security agencies including the riverine corridors, assuring that the suspects are being tracked.
Some residents who prefer anonymity said cases of kidnapping in Calabar and its environs are becoming unbearable in recent times.

Both the Public Relations Officer of the State Police Command, Irene Ugbo and that of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Solomon Eremi said they could not comment on the matter as it has not been brought to their notice officially.
Ekwele Agube operates a shop at Ekorinim not too far from her house where some gunmen who drove in a commercial Audi car kidnapped her.
