The candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has reportedly been admitted to an undisclosed hospital following an attack on his convoy by suspected political thugs in Benin City.
A policeman in Okpebholo’s convoy was reportedly killed in the attack, while two others sustained injuries.
The Legislative Aide to Okpebholo, in charge of Media & Communication, Godswill Inegbe, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday evening.
The statement was posted on several WhatsApp platforms.
Inegbe said the policeman was killed by suspected political thugs who invaded the Benin Airport when the impeached deputy governor, Philip Shaibu, and the APC governorship candidate arrived from Abuja.
He said, “This afternoon, the motorcade of Senator Monday Okpebholo, the APC governorship candidate, was brutally attacked by members of Edo State Security Network and State government-sponsored thugs.
“During the unprovoked brutal attack, three mobile policemen attached to the security detail of Senator Okpebholo were injured with bullets wound, while one of the policemen has been declared dead.
“Senator Monday Okpebholo is at this moment admitted in an undisclosed hospital in Benin receiving medical attention, and other members of his entourage who were victims of the brutal attack are in various hospitals in Benin City.”
