The police and the State Security Services deny knowledge of the whereabouts of the editor.
Armed men, suspected to be government operatives, on Tuesday seized a senior editor of a popular Uyo-based newspaper widely regarded for its critical views of the Akwa Ibom State government.
Mr. Thomas was riding in a Keke tricycle when he was attacked by the plain-clothed men.
