Global Pilot Newspaper gathered that Mrs. Akpabio returned to the country two weeks ago, and is in Abuja with her family.

There has been series of false rumour of her death by some section of the print and online media. A report that has been discovered to be untrue . Meanwhile, the Wife of the former Governor, Mrs. Akpabio yesterday took to her Facebook page where she expressed appreciation to God for putting a new song on her lips which she has vowed to always acknowledge his mercies and faithfulness upon her life.

The husband, Senator Godswill Akpabio in an interview confirmed that the wife had a surgery but that she is alive.

“During the cause of my wife having our children, my wife had caesarian child deliveries. Well, what we didn’t know was that for some reason there was a devastating surgical error. In sewing back my wife’s womb, some surgeon sewed up her bowels to her skin. Not just in one place but in several places. My wife took ill. During investigation, doctors discovered this surgical blunder. We were all shocked, including the doctors.

“The doctors have therefore had to conduct several surgical operations to detach and untangle my wife’s bowels from her skin. It’s been a terrible time for us and I have had to be there for her, that’s why I travel to make sure she’s ok.

“It’s therefore very hurtful when I read some of these wicked rumours on the internet. Some have even gone as far as saying the Igbos are after me and asking for their daughter back, none of this is true. People have sat down and created these stories – it’s wicked. What’s worse – the purveyors of these stories are a few disgruntled people from Akwa Ibom State”, Senator Godswill Akpabio said.
