Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has reacted after gunmen attacked her family house in Obeiba-Ihima, Kogi State, on Tuesday night.
The lawmaker, who represents Kogi Central, said the attackers stormed her ancestral home believing she was around.
She confirmed that the armed men damaged windows in her late grandfather’s residence before they were chased away by security agents and some community members.
The incident happened shortly after her younger brother visited the area with some contractors to inspect locations for projects she had brought to the district.
The Senator said the attackers may have mistaken his presence for hers, leading to the invasion that night.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, and the case was reported to the police.
Senator Natasha linked the attack to her ongoing dispute with Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
She said the invasion may be a form of retaliation over recent allegations she made against him.
She had publicly accused the Senate President of sexual harassment, sparking a wave of controversy within political circles.
The lawmaker demanded her full security team to be restored and urged the police to take up the case without delay.
She appealed to the public to remain calm as the matter is being looked into.
The Senator has also stated that the attack will not stop her from doing her work or standing for the people she represents.
