The deal appeared to have been brokered by a traditional ruler in Akwa Ibom.
Mr Luke, a PDP governorship aspirant in Akwa Ibom, is currently a member of the House of Representatives.
Governor Udom Emmanuel has already picked his preferred successor for the 2023 election.
Mr Emmanuel's choice is likely to get stiff resistance from some of his cabinet members and other PDP chieftains.
Governor Udom Emmanuel has urged the police to ensure justice is done in the case, an official says.
The complainant said security officials attached to Mr Luke had assaulted him in 2017.
