Ondo lawmaker survives assasination attempt


A member of the Ondo State House of Assembly member, Mr. Soji Akinkurolere on Monday, 06 of January 2014, survived an assasination attempt at his home in Okitipupa, Ondo state, thanks to one of his trusted aides.


Sahara Reporters reports that Mr Akinkurolere's aide foiled the assassination attempt when 5 gunmen raided the lawmaker's private residence. Akinkurolere escaped with his family, without harm.

"I was on the other side of the road when I saw a vehicle parked some distance from the residence with men inside," a neighbor in Okitipupa told SaharaReporters. "I was surprised when I saw a man, whom had been sitting in the front seat of the car, come down from the residence and start making phone calls. Immediately he dropped the calls, he tapped the other guys seated in the back seat and they headed to the home of Honorable Akinkurolere. The last thing I heard was sporadic gunshots."
