Three members of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly on Wednesday escaped death after they were attacked by bandits.

The lawmakers were identified as Hon Samuel Tsebe (APC- Akwanga South), Hon David Maiyaki (APC- Karu/ Gitata), and Hon Peter Akwanga PDP- Obi 1.

They were attacked along Wowyen village along Akwanga/Lafia highway, between Police Mobile Training College, Ende Hills while on their way from a burial ceremony by 10am on Wednesday, September 1.

According to reports, the gun target was on the vehicle of Hon Tsebe as Hon Akwe was in his car ahead followed by Hon Maiyaki, who was also in his car. Hon Tsebe was coming behind in his car when the assassins shot at his car.

“I heard gunshots at the driver’s side of my car in which I was the one driving. The bullet broke down the glasses of my car. The shots were targeted at the driver in which I was the one driving, so this gave me a suspicion that someone was monitoring my movement and knew that I was the one driving”.
