The vehicle conveying Ogwu James Onoja (SAN) and their police escort was shot at severally by suspected assailants at Bassa, along SHINTAKU -Lokoja-road.

This is coming after an alleged threat to his life and kidnap by a prominent politician in kogi, and a petition written to the Inspector General of Police by the legal icon, on the 8th of April, to address his security situation while visiting the state.

Ogwu James Onoja aside the petition addressed to the police top heirachy, was also advised via sms by a good samaritan, of a concluded arrangement to exterminate the life of the legal guru, over flimsy political issues not to his knowledge.

Onoja’s wife according to police was hurt and wounded by the gunshots at the vehicle conveying the wife,while they scamper for safety of their lives to Anyigba to lodge a formal complain to the local government police command,turned down by the area commander for mere lack of jurisdiction,without recourse to his colleague battered by gunshots.
