Someone Try To Assassinate me.. Gov Ikedi Ohakim

The former governor of Imo state, Ikedi Ohakim claimed that his bulletproof car protected him and his two children from Assassination Attempt.

The attack was carried out by armed militants who ambushed his convoy last Monday evening, killing four police officers in the process.

Speaking to reporters in Owerri on Tuesday, Ohakim described how he was ambushed by gunmen in the town of Umualumaku while traveling between the Imo state local government areas of Isiala Mbano and Ehime Mbano.

“We were driving between Isiala Mbano and Ehime Mbano. These people blocked us at a place called Umualumaku.

“They attacked us from behind and were firing at our vehicles consistently. I thought I was a dead man and I was with two of my children – my son and daughter. What saved me was the bulletproof vehicle.”

“That I am alive today is by the special grace of God and the bulletproof vehicle.”

“But unfortunately for me, they killed four of our boys, including the driver. Yes, we lost four of the boys and I am devastated.”

“How can that be? What crime did they commit? Ohakim said even when his driver managed to escape from the scene, the assailants pursued his vehicle.”

“They pursued us and continued firing at our tyres. Luckily, the vehicle has what is called run-flat tyres on which you can continue driving even after a puncture. So, even when they shot at the tyres hoping to immobilise us, the vehicle continued moving.”

“If they were ordinary tyres and the vehicle had stopped, they would cornered and finished us.”

“But the tyres held on until we got back home. We drove for about 20 minutes before we got home. That was the saving grace.”

“Their main aim is to eliminate me but their efforts were in vain”.
