A statement by the Chairman Senate Committee on Information and Media, Senator Ayogu Eze (PDP, Enugu North) said there was an attempt on the life of Senator Saraki by yet to be identified persons at her home. The Senate condemned the act, saying, “We received with shock, news of the attempt on the life of Senator Gbemisola Saraki. Politics of violence and brigandage belong to our regrettable past and any attempt to return us to that inglorious era is unfortunate and completely unacceptable.”
Senator Ayogu said political differences should be resolved through dialogue and consensus building and not by recourse to thuggery and arm-twisting.
“We condemn the violation of the sanctity of Sen. Saraki’s household and the abuse of the constitutional rights of her relations and domestic staff”, the Senate said, adding, “We call on the Inspector General of Police and other security agencies to step into this matter and fish out the master-minds and the culprits in this heinous act.”
