“He survived it but there are casualties. Some policemen in his convoy were killed. I just spoke with him. He’s okay but told me there are casualties.” A close friend of the senator said

Senator Ubah could not be contacted on phone for his reaction to the incident as his line was unreachable as at the time of filing this report.
