Assassination Attempt On Deputy Senate President By A Light Skinned Foreigner.

 

The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator

Ike Ekweremadu, Tuesday alleged an

attempt on his life by a light skinned

foreigner suspected to be a mercenary.

The attempt which has been reported to the

police involved repeated failed attempts to

crash into Senator Ekweremadu’s official

vehicle which was in a convoy from his

residence to the National Assembly complex

yesterday.

A statement issued by his special adviser on

media, Mr. Uche Anichukwu which

recounted the incident read thus:

“The Deputy President of the Senate,

Senator Ike Ekweremadu, escaped suspected

assassination attempt, Tuesday.

“The attempt occurred at about 10:00am

between Apo Flyover and Dantata

Construction Company’s yard, close to the

Old Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)

Headquarters junction on his way to work.

“The suspected assassins who operated in a

tinted, white-coloured Mercedez Benz AMG

E63 without a plate number, were

chauffeured by a long-bearded light skinned

foreigner, apparently a mercenary.

“The vehicle, which was positioned by the

Apo Bridge, on noticing that the Deputy

President of the Senate’s convoy took the

right turn to join the Nnamdi Azikiwe

Expressway instead, made a turn.

The occupants attempted to attack the

convoy, but were blocked. The driver

violently broke into the convoy and they

made several frantic attempts to attack the

Senator’s official car.”
