Driver robs Senator at gunpoint
by John Alechenu

Senator Edoghie Uzamere, of the Action Congress of Nigeria representing Edo South, received more than he bargained for when his driver of seven years, robbed him at gunpoint on Friday evening.

Uzamere, who narrated his ordeal to newsmen in Abuja, on Saturday, said the incident was a traumatic experience for him and his household.

According to him, the driver, Mohammed Ibrahim, who is in his mid-thirties and a native of Niger State, put a gun to his head and dispossessed him of cash and other valuables.

He said his once trusted aide pointed the weapon at his head, dragged him out of his black Mercedes Benz S 430 and sped off with a briefcase containing an undisclosed but substantial sum of money and very important documents.

The senator, who was on his way to Benin, the Edo state capital for the convention of the Action Congress of Nigeria, said he was happy to be alive.

Uzamere said, “It was around 12pm 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 he should take me back let me find a solution to the missing money.

“But just before we reached my house, the driver suddenly parked the car, came to my side and put a pistol on my head. He dragged me out and drove off.”

It was gathered that the driver who was described as very religious had over the years wormed his way into the hearts of most of the family members.

The suspect later put a call through to a member of the Uzamere household and told them to pick the vehicle somewhere within the Life camp area in Abuja.

The matter has been reported to the Utako police station.

odiaero: Maybe the Senator dey do chop alon, so the thing don provoke the driver

So long as what the driver did is bad, it is very possible for s driver to be motivated to rob his boss, after seeing the amount of money they steal from the public. Evil begets evil!

Undisclosed !
Y didn't they disclose the amount , I suspect it wasn't even in naira , for it to have just been in a briefcase

*Whistling* One day bush meat go catch the hunter.....

The Driver was a sharp guy!

Im sure he has seen Oga with a shitload of money before now but was calm. . . This time it was most likely in foreign currency and he just couldnt resist!!!

The guy snapped
After seeing ghana must go after ghana must go shared between politicians, pimps, and easy girls, the guy just snapped, and decided he was going to get his.

The guy don taya and felt he needed to get some.

Sure they mustve been paying him 70k per month. Thief tiff thief= no case. File closed.

Its even better for these politicians who display wealth as if they are from another planet. Let them rob themselves. If OPC, GBOKO HARRAM,MASOB AND OTHERS will be looking for these thieves in government houses, better.

The guy must have suffered in his hands and maybe he was going back home to kill the guy and the guy acted faster than him. Do not be surprised the same man gave him the gun to hold.

Dear senator, as long as there's life, there will be another opportunity to replace the stolen money with another stolen one. Driver, go & eat the life of your head joor...*winks*. NEXT PLS
