Deputy senate President alleged an attempt on his life by a light skinned foreigner suspected to be mercenary.

The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike
Ekweremadu, Tuesday alleged an attempt on his
life by a light skinned foreigner suspected to be a
mercenary.
The attempt which has been reported to the police
involved repeated failed attempts to crash into
Senator Ekweremadu’s official vehicle which was in
a convoy from his residence to the National
Assembly complex yesterday.
A statement issued by his special adviser on
media, Mr. Uche Anichukwu which recounted the
incident read thus:
“The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike
Ekweremadu, escaped suspected assassination
attempt, Tuesday.
“The attempt occurred at about 10:00am between
Apo Flyover and Dantata Construction Company’s
yard, close to the Old Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
Headquarters junction on his way to work.
“The suspected assassins who operated in a tinted,
white-coloured Mercedez Benz AMG E63 without a
plate number, were chauffeured by a long-bearded
light skinned foreigner, apparently a mercenary.
“The vehicle, which was positioned by the Apo
Bridge, on noticing that the Deputy President of the
Senate’s convoy took the right turn to join the
Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway instead, made a turn.
The occupants attempted to attack the convoy, but
were blocked. The driver violently broke into the
convoy and they made several frantic attempts to
attack the Senator’s official car.
