BREAKING: Three Top Politicians Escape Assassination Attempt In Nasarawa
On their way home after a burial service, three members of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly barely escaped assassination along the Akwanga-Lafia Highway.
Hon Samuel Tsebe (APC- Akwanga South), Hon David Maiyaki (APC- Karu/ Gitata), and Hon Peter Akwanga PDP- Obi 1 were among those who were attacked around 10 a.m. Wednesday.
The gun target was discovered to be Hon Tsebe’s vehicle, as Hon Akwe was in his car ahead, followed by Hon Maiyaki, who was also in his car. Hon Tsebe was approaching in his car when the assassins opened fire.
Hon Samuel Tsebe (APC-Akwanga South) thanked God for saving his life and the lives of his colleagues.
“When we are approaching Wowyen village along Akwanga/Lafia road that is between Police Mobile Training College, Ende Hills and the village towards the bridge.
“I heard gunshots at the driver’s side of my car in which I was the one driving. The bullet broke down the glasses of my car. The shots were targeted at the driver in which I was the one driving, so this gave me a suspicion that someone was monitoring my movement and knew that I was the one driving.
“It is more of an assassination attempt. I have informed the police of the incident. I thank God my life was saved,” Hon Tsebe said.
