    Edo Election: Actress Mercy Johnson’s husband, Prince Okojie, reportedly escape

    A federal lawmaker representing the Esan North-East/Esan South-East Federal Constituency in Edo State, Prince Henry Odianosen Okojie has reportedly escaped an assasination attempt.

    Okojie, the husband of the actress Mercy Johnson, was reportedly attacked by armed men suspected to be political thugs at his residence in Uromi on Friday morning, September 20.

    Okojie’s media aide, Michael Ihaza, in a statement said the attempt was unsuccessful owing to the intervention of security personnel attached to the lawmaker.

    “The armed thugs who disguised as police officers along with two others, invaded the residence of Hon. Okojie, claimed to be on appointment and proceeded to the sitting room.

    Following the intervention of the security personnel attached to the lawmaker, two of the armed thugs fled leaving behind the driver and another who are currently being interrogated by officers from the Area Command of the Nigeria Police Force, Uromi.

    The suspects have so far made a confessional statement stating that they were sent on the mission by People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leaders in Esan North East Local Government Area,” the statement added.
