Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Nasarawa Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Musa Ibrahim-Abubakar<\/p>\n

has survived a suspected assassination attempt.<\/p>\n

He recently defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) where he won the ticket for the Doma South House of Assembly seat.<\/p>\n

The Police Command has commenced an investigation of the incident, assuring that the perpetrators would be arrested.<\/p>\n

The Public Relations Officer, DSP Ramhan Nansel told reporters that the politician was attacked on Rukubi \u2013 Doma Road.<\/p>\n

Ibrahim-Abubakar said it occurred on his way from Rukubi town where he went to donate relief material to flood victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was returning from Rukubi town to Doma at about 5:30 p.m., around Igbabo village, when about nine gunmen opened fire on me from different directions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the bullets hit the mobile phone in my breast pocket with another hitting my elbow and my back\u201d, NAN quoted him saying.<\/p>\n

Ibrahim-Abubakar recalled he escaped to Igbabo village where the locals helped and took him to the hospital.<\/p>\n

He said several bullets have been removed from his body with doctors working to remove one more lodged under the ribs.<\/p>\n

The NNPP chieftain added that the attack might be the handiwork of his political opponents.<\/p>\n

A similar attack occurred in Anambra this month. Gunmen ambushed the convoy of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, killing his personal and security aides.<\/p>\n
