It was a lucky day for 3 members of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly on Wednesday, Sept. 1, as they escaped an attempted assassination along Akwanga-Lafia Highway.
The lawmakers involved were identified as Hon Samuel Tsebe (APC-Akwanga South), Hon David Maiyaki (APC- Karu/ Gitata) and Hon Peter Akwanga (PDP- Obi 1).
According to CRIMECHANNELS, they were returning from a burial ceremony when the attempt on their lives occurred.
Narrating their ordeal, Hon Tsebe said, “When we are approaching Wowyen village along Akwanga/ Lafia road, that is between Police Mobile Training College, Ende Hills and the village towards the bridge.”
“I heard gun shoot at the driver’s side of my car in which I was the one driving. The bullet has broken the glasses of my car.”

“The shot was targeted at the driver in which I was the one driving, so this gave me the suspicion that someone was monitoring my movement and knew that I was the one driving”.
