Unknown hoodlums wielding firearms have reportedly attacked the family residence of suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. A report this Thursday afternoon by security expert Zagazola Makama said the attack took place in the early hours of Tuesday in Obeiba-Ihima area, Okehi Local Government Area of Kogi State.

According to Makama, “The Chief Security Officer to the Senator, Yakubu Ovanja, reported the incident to security authorities, revealing that the attack occurred around 1:00 a.m. and involved at least three armed individuals who vandalized the building, including shattering window panes.

“Following a distress alert, a team of security operatives from Okehi Division swiftly mobilized to the scene. While no casualties were reported and no arrests have been made, the premises were documented and preliminary investigations have commenced.

“The motive behind the attack remains unknown as investigations continue.”

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central Senatorial District in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, has yet to issue a public statement on the incident.
