Deputy Senate president Ike Ekweremadu escapes attempted assasination

The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu says he escaped an assassination attempt today November 17th. Ekweremadu's special adviser on media, Uche Anichukwu made this known in a statement he released this evening. The statement in part reads;
“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. When charged at by the security operatives attached to the deputy president of the senate, the Benz driver made a U-turn, and partially smashed an oncoming vehicle on the opposite lane of the highway and escaped. The development has already been reported to the security agencies.”the statement read

  10. They tried to attack him but were blocked? I DON'T GET. Attack him how? Far as I know, bullets or any similar projectile can't be 'blocked', last time I checked, Matrix was still a movie. No info here. A Special Adviser wrote this? What are his qualifications? From which institution?

  21. Rubbish statement! There are no specifics on the statement. For example, what is the nature of attack, the spokesman is refering to? Or is it that he doesn't know how to explain himself?

    I tire o! Every Igbo man position in Nigeria is now deputy something or assistant something.

  25. As I was reading this, I immediately suspected some powerful people under probe by this administration. I feel they tried to assassinate or scare him in order to give impetus to Biafra, and destabilise the nation. Some powerful people are desperarately trying to cause chaos in our country but God will not let them.

    ReplyDelete
  26. And People say Biafra should not go and be in peace. After you will say Akpabio attack was an accident that he should stay in Nigeria hospital.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Buhari leave Ekweremadu alone!!!! What has he done that you want him dead?

    ReplyDelete
  28. It is definitely not the government, because the government can even work with the security to make such an opening possible and not try hard to prevent this like they did.

    Everyone should be a suspect, from those that want to destablise the government, to those who see him as a threat to their vice presidential ambition, to some northern/islamic fanatics.

    Mat God protect him and bless the nation.

  51. In as much as I don't doubt attempted assassination on the life of deputy senate president, the description of preceding event didn't add up.
    The SA who released this press statement made a mess of his intellectual power. He did a shoddy job.
    Let the security agents swing into action.

  53. The bigot dictator Buhari is now showing his true colours. Change ko Buhari ni. Buhari has no respect for democracy or the rule of law

  54. What did they attack him with and what did they use to block the attack? I suppose they would have shot at him or his convoy if it were an assassination attempt. They might also have shot at him or his convoy if it were a kidnap attempt, but from the statement above, there was no mention of gunshots or exchange of gun fire.

    No evidence or proof whatsoever to substantiate this story. For all i care, this is a PDP script. Not one single person took picture of the incident or of the damaged car used in blocking the assassin's car? and yet they were able to see the driver of the car, his colour, his hair, his face and even identified that he is a foreign hit-man.

    Why in the world will someone go to the length of assassinating Ekweremadu? is he that relevant when we still have a Saraki?

    Abeg, make una write another better script.

  55. @Bona, you have a point. I thank God for his life

  56. Statements like this should be backed up with proof. Someone attacks your cars or whatever....add evidence,so how did they get the full description from a tinted glass.....not saying he's lying but in this current disposition of propaganda. Proof is the keyword to authenticity
