Words about the assault on Hon Barr Onofiok Akpan Luke was a bolt from the blue when it reached me during my vacation at
Calabar. My response betrayed the supposed secrecy and in a second everybody at the table with me where I was having a little soiree was eager to know what had happened to Onofiok whether they knew him or not. The next
question that came from one of my friends was “so, who is he?” by this time I was already up and away from the table pacing to and fro making enquiries on phone asking questions hoping the news were a ruse.
