The Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly has almost ended up dead after assassins came for him in the state.

The Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Mr. Justin
Okonoboh, on Friday evening, escaped an assassination attempt at Igueben
Local Government Area of the state, Punch Metro reports.
Okonoboh, elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress,
made this known when he briefed journalists in Benin on Saturday.
He thanked his backup driver for saving him from the assassins.
Okonoboh said he was on his way from his constituency on Friday, when the incident happened.
He said he had gone to settle some land issues, when his aide in
the escort van told him on the phone that he should be on the alert
because a Toyota Camry was following them.
“When we looked back, the car was behind my backup Hilux van.
The Camry wanted to overtake the Hilux to block me but the driver did
not allow them. The Toyota Camry struggled with the Hilux for about five
kilometres and they almost crashed but did not give up.
“The policemen inside the Hilux van fired a shot into the air
to scare them but that did not deter them as they kept chasing us. It
happened around Ugbegun-Nebudin-Ujogba Road. It was when we got to the
Benin-Auchi Expressway that they waved their hands to us a warning. I do
not know whether they are armed robbers or kidnappers but I know that
only assassins would behave the way the men did.
“My security aides inside the Hilux said the men were armed. I
have enough security aides attached to me but the challenge is that
there are no vehicles to convey them when I am travelling,” he explained.
Okonoboh said he had reported the matter to the commissioner of police.
