Mercy Johnson’s husband ‘escapes assassination’

A federal lawmaker representing the Esan North-East/Esan South-East Federal Constituency in Edo State, Prince Henry Odianosen Okojie has reportedly escaped an assassination attempt.

Prince Okojie, the husband of the Nollywood movie Star, Mercy Johnson, was reportedly attacked by armed men suspected to be political thugs at his residence in Uromi on Friday morning.

Okojie’s media aide, Michael Ihaza, confirmed the development in a statement.

According to the statement, the attackers invaded the lawmaker’s residence with a Lexus GX 470 carrying a Rivers State vehicle registration number—PHC 253 FF.

According to the statement, the planned assassination “was unsuccessful owing to the intervention of security personnel attached to the lawmaker.”

“The armed thugs who disguised as police officers, along with two others, invaded the residence of Hon. Okojie, claimed to be on appointment, and proceeded to the seating room.

“Following the intervention of the security personnel attached to the lawmaker, two of the armed thugs fled, leaving behind the driver and another who are currently being interrogated by officers from the Area Command of the Nigeria Police Force, Uromi.
