In a dramatic turn of events during a constituency outreach event held in Igumale, Chief (Dr.) Philip Agbese, the esteemed House of Representatives member for Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency, narrowly escaped an assassination attempt. Hoodlums suspected to be aligned with the Ado Local Government Caretaker Chairman, Agbese Onazi, allegedly orchestrated the sinister plot in what appears to be a targeted attack.
Eyewitnesses reported that the assailants, believed to have been hired by the caretaker chairman, ambushed Chief Agbese and his entourage during the outreach program in Igumale, the capital of Ado Local Government Area. Thanks to the swift response of security operatives present at the scene, the Enone Representative managed to evade harm, averting a potential tragedy. Several of the suspected perpetrators were promptly apprehended, shedding light on the disturbing chain of events.
Initial interrogations of the apprehended individuals have revealed damning information implicating both the Ado Local Government Chairman and the Deputy Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Hon. Mrs. Lami Ogenyi, in the heinous scheme. Shockingly, one of the culprits was found in possession of Hon. Mrs. Ogenyi’s official vehicle, raising serious questions about her involvement in the attempted assassination.
As the investigation unfolds, authorities are intensifying efforts to uncover the full extent of the conspiracy and bring all responsible parties to justice. The safety and security of public officials and constituents alike hang in the balance as the community grapples with the implications of this brazen attack.
Stay tuned for further developments as this harrowing ordeal continues to unfold.
