| Senator Ahmed Ogembe |
The senator representing Kogi Central, Ahmed
Ogembe, narrowly escaped death on Saturday as hoodlums attacked him during an
empowerment programme.
Ogembe and several others were said to have been
injured during the disruption.
Latest Reality Metro learnt that the
incident took place in Afims Hotel in Okene, where Ogembe was expected to
“empower over 1,000 women across the five local government areas of the state —
Okene, Adavi, Ajaokuta, Okehi and Ogori/Magongo.”
The hoodlums reportedly invaded the venue with
weapons at about 8am, destroyed the venue and injured several women who came
for the programme.
Addressing supporters and beneficiaries at the
venue, the senator said it was sad that some people wanted to take the law into
their own hands.
According to him, the issue has been reported to
the appropriate authorities for investigation.
Meanwhile, the state government has proscribed
all political activities in Kogi Central to prevent a breakdown of law and
order.
