Gunmen Attack Lawmakers In Edo State

Some unknown hoodlums have attacked the Edo State House of Assembly quarters in Ihama GRA, Benin City, destroying several cars and other properties.

Some of the lawmakers told Channels Television on Saturday that the gunmen came in the morning, over-powered the security men at the premises gates to gain access.

About  30 cars belonging to the lawmakers were destroyed.

They said the hoodlums also attempted to gain entrance into some of the houses with an obvious intent to kill, as they were shooting sporadically in the air and at the buildings.

There have been factional crises in the State’s House of Assembly.

It started after four lawmakers were suspended for gross misconduct and other allegations.
