Ekpeyong was abducted at his Creek Town residence in Odukpani Local Government Area of Cross River State at about 4am by armed kidnappers who came in through the creeks of Calabar estuaries.

A family source, George Okon, said the kidnappers passed through a canal leading to Ekpe’s residence and abducted him.
