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.

Am not surprised. The wide gap between the rich and the poor is not sustainable and will only continue to boil many minds until something is done.
The politicians award themselves so much wealth to match with their western rivals without considering just how poor Nigeria is at the moment. They all truly disgust me

hahahahhahaha good radiance to sweet nonsense!!! Only God knows what took over the driver. Or could it be that the senator was involve in some dirty deals which the driver was aware of, and perhaps the senator was too greedy and did not even bother to drop something down for poor guy?
Sad but funny.

Hmmmmmmm I thought the Abokis said they don't steal and they've been calling other tribes thieves here. But now when they pass through you, something will be missing, they are now alround problems in Nigeria. Where is the sharia laws in them? But the senator deserve what he got though, see him, he doesn't want to say how much that was stolen. Stupid man, what goes around comes around......
