President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has condemned the assault on former Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, on Saturday in Nuremberg, Germany.
Ola Awoniyi, Special Adviser on Media to the Senate President, in a statement issued on Sunday, recalled that Ekweremadu was to give a keynote address at the Second Igbo Annual Cultural Festival and Convention organised by Ndi-Igbo Germany in that city when a mob, which identified itself as members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, invaded the venue to attack an illustrious son of Ndi- Igbo who in his political career has consistently identified with and defended the cause of his people.
The Senate President described as “incredibly absurd for anybody to blame the distinguished Senator for the violent criminal activities in his home base, the purported reason cited by the mob for the bewildering attack.”
