Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the lawmaker representing Kogi Central, raised the alarm on Thursday after some armed men stormed her family home in Obeiba-Ihima, Kogi State.
The senator revealed this in an Abuja statement published by her media team.
According to her, gunmen invaded and vandalised her grandfather’s home on Tuesday.
According to the report, security officials successfully repelled the raid on Natasha’s family house by the gunmen.
The statement partly read, “Two days ago, my younger brother took some contractors to my hometown in Ihima to inspect locations for upcoming projects that I attracted to my senatorial district. The unknown gunmen assumed I was the one in town and attacked my family’s house that night.
“Thankfully, the civil defence team and community members responded promptly and chased them off. A report was made to the police area command, and no one was hurt. We urge the Inspector General of Police to immediately reinstate my security details.”
The message also urged the people to remain calm and support the lawmaker’s pursuit of justice, stating that her commitment to her constituents should not be met with violence or intimidation.
