| Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu |
Masquerade 234 got a statement from the office of the
Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, saying he escaped suspected
assassination attempt, in the early hours Tuesday.
According to the statement 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 while he was
on his way to the National Assembly.
The suspected assassins operated in a tinted, brand
new, white-coloured Mercedes Benz AMG E63.
The vehicle, which was positioned by the Apo Bridge,
on noticing the Deputy President of the Senate’s convoy took the right turn to
join the Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway and made a turn, attempting to ram into the
convoy.
The driver, however, sped off to the Apo Roundabout on
sighting the convoy of the Deputy President of the Senate, having failed to violently
broke into the convoy.
The vehicle refused to stop when charged at by the
security operatives attached to the Deputy President of the Senate, but when
pushed to a tight corner, the Benz driver made a U-turn, and partially smashed
an oncoming vehicle on the opposite lane of the highway and escaped.
Masquerade234 gathered that the incident has been
reported to the police force.
