The attackers reportedly besieged the house at Okorotun Street in the Government Reservation Area, Benin but were repelled by security agents and some APC youths.

This much was confirmed by Oshiomhole’s spokesperson, Simon Egbebulam. Egbebulam said Oshiomhole was not at home when the attack happened because he was at a friend’s party.
