Latest reports coming out of Benin city in Edo state inform
that a PDP lawmaker, Hon. Rasak Momoh, was on Tuesday night attacked by
unknown persons at his residence in the legislators quarters.
P.M NEWS reports that the lawmaker is currently receiving medical
treatment at the Accident and Emergency Ward of the University of Benin
Teaching Hospital (UBTH), after he was reportedly left for dead by his
attackers.
Confirming the tragic incident, a close member of Momoh’s family, who
did not want his name in the published, told newsmen that the lawmaker
might be flown abroad because of the degree of injuries sustained by the
lawmaker.
However, the Edo State Police Command Public Relations Officer, DSP
Noble Uwoh, could not confirm the incident when contacted on phone. He
asked for more time to check with the DPO in charge of the area, saying
that he was yet to be informed.
It was gathered that the lawmaker was recently 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.
It would be recalled that Momoh, who represents Etsako West
Constituency 1 in the House, two weeks ago raised an alarm that Governor
Oshiomhole has hired assassins from the riverine area of the state to
kill him
