Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, suspended Senator representing Kogi Central has raised alarm over an attack by suspected gunmen on her family home in Kogi State.
In a statement released by her media office, the senator said, the attack happened during a visit by her younger brother, who was in town alongside contractors to inspect a constituency project site in her hometown, Obeiba-Ihima.
Natasha called on the Inspector-General of Police to reinstate her withdrawn security aides, stating that, the assailants likely believed she was present at the location and targeted the house with that assumption.
Going further, she stated that the incident resulted in the vandalism of the residence, which originally belonged to her grandfather.
She however stated that, the attack was repelled by security personnel.
“Thankfully, the civil defence team and community members responded promptly and chased them off. A report has been filed at the police area command and fortunately, no one was hurt. We urge the Inspector-General of Police to immediately reinstate my security details,” she said.
