The DPO is currently placed on danger list at Iyienu Mission hospital Ogidi where he was rushed to when he collapsed.

Luck however ran out on one of the assailants as he was shot on the leg when they were escaping and arrested by the police.

In a confessional statement he said they were members of the newly formed members of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, from Asaba, Delta State capital, and that they came to look for arms in the police armoury.

Reacting to the incident, the former provost of Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Barrister Pat Agbata, said that the attack was barbaric and a deliberate act to harm the innocent DPO and his men by men of the underworld and called for thorough investigation.
