BREAKING: Gunmen bombs Ohakim’s convoy, killing four orderliesr

A former governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, on Monday escaped death by the whiskers when daredevil gunmen bombed his convoy, killing four of his orderlies.

The gunmen threw explosives at the convoy when they could not capture Ohakim.

The ex-governor (2007-2011) was attacked at Oriagu in Ehime Mbano Local Government Area on Monday evening by a yet-to-be identified gunmen.

The gunmen reportedly made effort to capture Ohakim without success, a development that made them throw explosives that claimed four lives of his security details.

According to reports, Ohakim was with two of his children and was returning from a visit when the gunmen struck.

A source said: “His Excellency was the main target but his brave driver was smart enough to beat them because they were driving to block him.

“Disappointed that their main target had escaped, they blocked his backup vehicle and burnt it. The four policemen with him were feared killed.”

Ohakim’s media aide, Emma Chukwu, promised to comment on the issue later.
