APC leaders in Benue State say someone tried to kill or kidnap their legal adviser in Abuja. Benjamin Omale told reporters at party headquarters Sunday that gunmen attacked Terhemen Ngbea in a parking lot. The state chairman believes attackers targeted Ngbea because he works with the local government elections tribunal. Police are looking into what happened during the incident.
The attackers followed Ngbea to his car in central Abuja. They damaged his vehicle, forced open the door, and stole important papers. Ngbea escaped with minor injuries despite what seemed like a planned attack. Party officials worry about his safety since he coordinates their legal team at the tribunal hearings.
Omale rejected claims this was just a random crime. He said their legal adviser plays a key role in current election disputes being heard in the capital. The party continues helping law enforcement find who did this. Ngbea has recovered from the attack. He had already returned to his duties at the tribunal despite the frightening experience.
