The attempts which took place two times led to the destruction of one his cars with bullets and gunshot injuries on him.

It was gathered that on May 9, 2023, some men in a tricycle and Camry car had trailed him from his house to Enugu Timber Market where they shot at his car and wounded him.

The attackers were reported to have returned on June 8 in his house and attempted to abduct him.

Speaking with  journalists in Enugu at the weekend, Akpata said the suspected assassins had come to his street and pretended to be visitors to some neighbours, adding that when they started following him with their car, he became suspicious.

He said: “My life is under threat. I have escaped two assassination attempts in less than one month. They attacked me on May 9 and returned back here in my house on June 8.

 

“They were with Keke and Camry. I went to the Timber Market to buy materials for my son who is building his house in Enugu here. He and another person were with us in my car. As I drove out, I noticed that a Camry car with tinted windows was parked on the street here with the its headlamps fully on. I thought it belonged to my neighbours’ visitors.

 

“But, immediately I drove out the car followed me. When the movement became constant, I maneuvered and followed another route. But after buying what we came to buy, I tried to drive out but noticed that a tricycle had blocked my path.

“It was then that one of the occupants of the tricycle emerged and started shooting directly at me. I did everything to dodge the nuzzle from getting to my head and he managed to shatter my shoulder.

“As God would have it, I managed to push the tricycle out and sped away. But that particular Camry attempted to block me in front with one of the occupants bringing out AK-47 rifle to shoot me. But the speed with which I hit the door of their car helped me to escape,”
