Gunmen have attacked the family residence of Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the senator representing Kogi central, in Obeiba-Ihima, Okehi LGA.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, when at least three armed men wielding firearms and cutlasses stormed the premises.

According to Yakubu Ovanja, the senator’s chief security officer, the assailants arrived around 1 am and vandalised the property, including shattering windows.

Following a distress call, security operatives from Okehi responded to the scene.

Although no arrests have been made, the incident has been documented and preliminary investigations have begun.

Confirming the attack to TheCable, Akpoti-Uduaghan said the assailants may have believed she was in town, prompting the assault on her family home.

She added that no one was hurt and that the gunmen were chased away by officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

“Two days ago, my younger brother took some contractors to my hometown in Ihima. They inspected locations of the next series of projects I attracted to my senatorial district,” she said.

“The unknown gunmen assumed I was the one in town and that night, attacked my family house. They were chased off by the civil defence team and community members who trouped out en mass.

“A report was made at the police area command. Nobody was hurt.”

Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended for alleged gross misconduct following an altercation with Godswill Akpabio, president of the senate, over seating arrangement.

Neda Imaseun, chairman of the senate committee on public conduct, ethics, privileges, and public petitions, said the panel recommended her suspension for “violating the senate rules”.
