Ekweremadu: Shehu Sani reacts to attempted assassination of Deputy Senator President

The lawmaker representing Kaduna Central District at the National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani, has reacted to the reported invasion of the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu’s home by alleged assassins.

DAILY POST reported earlier on Tuesday that Ekweremadu, his wife, and son escaped an assassination attempt at about 4am.

Eye witness report said the armed men discreetly evaded the security at Ekweremadu’s Apo Quarters residence, to gain entry into his house.

The attackers, who could not immediately shoot in order not to attract the attention of the security personnel on duty, took hold of his son, and commanded him to lead them to the Senator’s bedroom.

It was at the Senator’s bedroom that a struggle ensued, leading to the arrest of one of the assailants with dangerous weapons and housebreaking devices, while the rest managed to escape.

However, Senator Sani said the attempt to assassinate the Enugu born politician was condemnable, while calling on the police to investigate the incident.

He tweeted, “The invasion of the House of DSP Ekwerenmadu stands condemned.

“The police must investigate this incidence and get to the root of the matter.”
