A PDP lawmaker in Benin, Edo State, Hon. Rasak Momoh, was last night
attacked by unknown persons at his residence in the legislators
quarters.
Honourable Momoh who is currently receiving medical
attention at the Accident and Emergency Ward of the University of Benin
Teaching Hospital (UBTH), was allegedly left for dead by his attackers.
A
close member of his family who pleaded for anonymity, told journalists
this morning that the injuries sustained by the suspended lawmaker are
such that he may be flown about for proper treatment.
The lawmaker was suspended by the leadership of Edo State House of
Assembly over his failure to resume plenary at the old Assembly chamber
at the Government House where the Assembly relocated to pave way for
renovation of the Anthony Enahoro Assembly complex at the King’s Square.
Rasak
who represents Etsako West Constituency 1 in the House, was alleged to
have raised the alarm two weeks ago that Governor Oshiomhole has hired
assassins from the riverine area of the state to eliminate him.
When
contacted on phone, Edo State Police Command Public Relations Officer,
DSP Noble Uwoh, asked for time to check with the DPO in charge of the
area, saying that he was yet to be informed.
