The Kogi State Police Command has launched an investigation into an early-morning attack on the family home of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan in Obeiba-Ihima, Okehi LGA.
Police spokesperson SP William Aya confirmed the incident occurred around 1:00 a.m. on April 16, when three machete-wielding intruders damaged windows while attempting to break in. The attackers fled after an alarm was raised.
“The Commissioner of Police has directed a discreet investigation to apprehend the culprits,” Aya said.
Natasha’s media aide, Israel Arogbonlo, blamed the attack on political retaliation, linking it to her recent accusations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
“This calculated assault appears to be a direct response to Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s courageous stance against Senate President Godswill Akpabio,” Arogbonlo said.
Senator Natasha shared her version: “The unknown gunmen assumed I was the one in town and attacked my family house that night… Thankfully, the civil defence team and community members responded promptly and chased them off.”
No injuries were reported.
