A former Governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim has described a recent attack on his convoy as a clear assassination attempt on his life and that of his family members.

“Even though the nationwide condemnation of such a despicable act was to be expected, I noticed, in all the messages and calls I received, deep personal love and regard for me.”
Ohakim was attacked by gunmen on Monday evening around Ori-Agu axis in the Ehime Mbano Local Government Area (LGA) of the state while on his way from his hometown back to Owerri, the state capital, in company with his daughter and son
