ABUJA, Federal Republic of Nigeria. (Unic Press UK ) – It appears that the deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, narrowly escaped being assassinated in Abuja on Tuesday, 17 November 2015.
A press release by Ekweremadu’s media aide Uche Anichukwu, who claims that an attempt to assassinate the deputy President of the Senate occurred at circa 10:00 hours in Abuja, reads:
“The suspected assassins, who operated in an unmarked, tinted, brand new, white Mercedez Benz AMG E63, were chauffeured by a man who looked like a Middle-Easterner.
“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 and attempted to ram into the convoy, but was blocked.”
The incident occurred near the Apo Flyover and Dantata Construction Company’s garage at a time the deputy President of the Senate was moving in a convoy to the National Assembly for official duties.
