However, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Chief Security Officer, Yakubu Ovanja, moved quickly and got the appropriate security agencies informed.
Accordingly, officers and men of the Okehi Police Division act fast by rushing to the scene of the attack.
It was also gathered that before the police could arrive the scene, the armed men vacated the premises to avoid being apprehended.
As a result, no suspect was arrested at the scene but, the police have intensified efforts to get the culprits arrested in due course.
The police officers that visited the scene also took records of the extent of the damage and launched a preliminary investigation.
The reason for the attack was yet to be known even as the police are working to unravel what must have motivated the attackers and their possible sponsors, if any.
Similarly, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan is yet to speak on the unfortunate development.
