Gunmen Attack Kogi Central Senator Natasha’s Family Home

Gunmen have reportedly attacked the family house of Senator Natasha Akpoti–Uduaghan in Ihima, Kogi State on Tuesday, April 15, 2025.

The Attack, by the yet-to-be identified gunmen as contained in a statement issued by the Media Office of Senator Natasha in Abuja on Thursday, was, however, repelled by operatives of Civil Defence and community members.

in the statement issued to journalists in Abuja by Isreal Arogbonlo, Senator Natasha said the attackers thought that the suspended lawmaker was at the family house during the attack.

“Two days ago, my younger brother took some contractors to my hometown in Ihima, to inspect locations for upcoming projects I attracted to my senatorial district.

“The unknown gunmen assumed I was the one in town and attacked my family house that night.

“Thankfully, the civil defence team and community members responded promptly and chased them off. A report was made at the police area command, and no one was hurt,” she said.

Her media office accordingly called on the public to remain calm and support the pursuit of justice for Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, saying, “her dedication to speaking truth and representing her constituents should not be met with violence and intimidation.”
