The statement partly read, “Two days ago, my younger brother took some contractors to my hometown in Ihima to inspect locations for upcoming projects that I attracted to my senatorial district. The unknown gunmen assumed I was the one in town and attacked my family’s house that night.
“Thankfully, the civil defence team and community members responded promptly and chased them off. A report was made to the police area command, and no one was hurt. We urge the Inspector General of Police to immediately reinstate my security details. ”
The statement also called on the public to stay calm and stand behind efforts to secure justice for the senator, stressing that her commitment to serving her constituents should not be answered with threats or acts of violence.
