The Kogi State Police Command on Thursday confirmed gunmen attack on Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s (PDP-Kogi Central) family residence in Obeiba Community, Okehi Local Government Area.

The State Commissioner of Police, Mr Miller Dantawaye, confirmed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lokoja.

He said the incident occurred on Tuesday night.

“The command has been fully briefed on the unfortunate and criminal incident by the Okehi LGA Divisional Police Officer. So far, no arrest has been made.

“Investigation into the incident has begun and we shall get to the root of it.

“We will deal with those criminal elements that carried out the attack,” Dantawaye said.

Akpoti-Uduaghan, who spoke on the incident, said the gunmen assumed she was in town and so attacked her family’s house that Tuesday night.

“During the attack, security operatives and community members responded promptly and chased them off.

“No one was hurt. A report on the incident was quickly made at the police area command of the LGA,” she said.

A statement from Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Media team described the attack as a calculated attempt to silence the senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District of the state.

“We urge the Inspector-General of Police to immediately reinstate her security details for safety, considering this heinous attack.

“We condemn the brazen attack on Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan’s family house in Obeiba-Ihima, Kogi on Tuesday, April 15.

“We call on the public to remain calm. Her dedication to speak the truth and represent her constituents should not be met with violence and intimidation,” the statement read.(NAN/vitalnewsngr.com)
