How I escaped death – Ex-Imo governor, Ikebi Ohakim
A former governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, has narrated how he escaped death by a whisker during his Monday encounter with gunmen.
The PUNCH reports that the one-term former governor was attacked by gunmen at Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State, with four people in his entourage feared killed.
Narrating his ordeal, Ohakim said his bulletproof vehicle and his driver who brought to bear his skills saved him and his children from the killer gunmen.
“We were driving between Isiala Mbano and Ehime Mbano. These people blocked us at a place called Umualumaku.
They attacked us from behind and were firing at our vehicles consistently. I thought I was a dead man and I was with two of my children – my son and daughter.
“What saved me was the bulletproof vehicle. That I am alive today is by the special grace of God and the bulletproof vehicle.
