Former Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General of Edo State, Mr. Henry Idahagbon has escaped death by whiskers.

The ex-commissioner was attacked by gunmen on Thursday, January 30, 2020 who stormed his law chamber at Siluko Road, near the popular Oliha Market in Benin-City, Edo State.

Idahagbon, expressing his shock said; “I was in my office attending to some clients when I heard the echoes of gunshots directed at my office. I immediately ran out.”

“Thank God nobody was injured. The windows were shattered while the building is pockmarked with bullets. However, I have reported the matter to the police.”

“In panic, some neighbours who heard the volley of the shots, apparently from pump action rifles ran out of their shops, unlocked and fled for fear of being hit by stray bullets.”
