Popular serving Nigerian Senator escapes assassination

The All Progressives Congress (APC) serving senator representing Niger East, Senator Sani Musa, Saturday, escaped an assassination attempt by armed men.

Confirming the report, a chieftain of the APC, Femi Fani-Kayode, posted on Twitter, Sunday, that some of the attackers have been arrested.

He said, “The horrendous attempt to kill Sen. Sani Musa, a dear friend & brother of mine, a leading member of the APC and one of the Directors in the Tinubu/Shettima PCC in his home this evening by 9 well-armed, blood-thirsty and violent assassins is despicable. I wholeheartedly condemn it.

“Thankfully some of the perpetrators have been apprehended by the security agencies and those that were behind this dastardly attempt to kill the Senator and his family shall be exposed and brought to justice. May God protect us all from evil and bloodthirsty men.”
