Chairman of Ndokwa East Local Government Area of Delta State, Nkechi Chukwurah, escaped death by the whiskers after one her of security aides simply identified as David opened fire on her at close range.
Speaking from her hospital bed in Asaba, Delta State, Mrs Chukwurah said she had just closed from a church thanksgiving service on the fateful day and was about to enter her Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) when the security aide who was seated at the front turned and pointed his gun at her.
He immediately opened fire on her, firing severally before other security aides rushed at him and seized the gun. Mrs Chukwurah, who recently returned to office after being suspended by the state House of Assembly over allegations of misappropriation of public funds, said that the bullets hit her at the stomach, hand and thighs. She was rushed to the hospital by sympathisers.
A source within the Delta State Police command headquarter confirmed the incident yesterday, adding that the suspect has been arrested and the matter currently under investigation.
