Senator's Driver Robs him at Gun Point

                                 
                                           Senator Ehigie Uzamere

A serving senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was on Friday robbed at gun point by his driver (Ibrahim). According to the Nations newspaper,
the Action Congress of Nigerian (ACN) lawmaker said he was on his way to Benin City, the Edo State capital for the ACN convention when his driver, Mohammed Ibrahim, allegedly pointed a gun to his head, dragged him out of his black Mercedez Benz S430 and sped off with his briefcase containing “vital documents”.

Ibrahim the driver is said to hail from Niger state and have been with the Senator for 7 years as his driver.
The lawmaker also narrated to the Nation newspaper that “It was around 12 pm on Friday. We were on the way to the airport when I decided to check my briefcase. 

“I discovered that part of the money inside had been taken. I asked my driver how that came to be since I left him in the car earlier when I went to the Chinese Embassy. 
“I felt I would need some money for the activities slated for the convention. So, I said ‘take me back; let me find a solution to the missing money’. 
“But just before we reached my house (in Jabi) by the junction (of Ebitu Ukiwe and Bala Sokoto), the driver suddenly parked the car, came to my side and put a pistol on my head, practically dragged me out and left in a jiffy.” 
The distraught lawmaker said he was completely traumatised for several hours and could not leave for the ACN convention in Benin, until early Saturday morning. 
The run-away driver was said to have called a member of Uzamere’s family, urging him to pick his father’s car somewhere in Life Camp area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
