Delta PDP gov candidate Oborevwori escapes another assassination

Gunmen have again attacked the convoy of Sheriff Oborevwori, the Delta State PDP governorship candidate.

He was said to be returning from Sapele to Osubi when the attackers waylaid his convoy and opened fire on them along the Warri/Sapele Highway.

A statement on Tuesday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Dennis Otu, said the incident happened on Sunday.

This is the second time suspected assassins have made an attempt on the life of Oborevwori. The first was on Wednesday, January 11, 2023,

The Tuesday statement read in part. “The car which he was driven in and security vehicles attached to the convoy were riddled with bullets in the incident that took place at about 9:05pm.

“He had gone to Sapele for political meetings and on his way back to Osubi, the unknown gunmen ambushed the convoy and launched a heavy attack on him, spraying his car and back up vehicles with bullets.

“Only the Grace of God and the fact that he was riding in a bulletproof car saved the life of the leading governorship hopeful in the state.”
