Security personnel foiled an alleged assassination attempt on a federal lawmaker representing the Esan North-East/Esan South-East Federal Constituency in Edo State, Henry Okojie.

The men were identified as armed men suspected to be political thugs.

Media aide, Michael Ihaza, confirmed the development in a statement on Friday, September 20, saying that Okojie, the husband of actress Mercy Johnson, was attacked at his residence by gunmen in a Lexus GX 470 carrying a Rivers State vehicle registration number – PHC 253 FF.

The statement noted that the alleged planned assassination “was unsuccessful owing to the intervention of security personnel attached to the lawmaker.”

“The armed thugs who disguised as police officers along with two others, invaded the residence of Hon. Okojie, claimed to be on appointment and proceeded to the seating room.

“Following the intervention of the security personnel attached to the lawmaker, two of the armed thugs fled leaving behind the driver and another who are currently being interrogated by officers from the Area Command of the Nigeria Police Force, Uromi.”  the statement read in part
