The attack was carried out in Abuja and demanded a thorough investigation into the incident.

IPAC labelled the attack as both outrageous and barbaric, urging the police to investigate and ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice, as reported by Vanguard reported.

The statement reads:

"The attack on Chief Dan Nwanyanwu is inconceivable, outrageous, despicable, inhuman, and barbaric.

"Chief Nwanyanwu's offense is speaking truth to power and resisting impunity, executive recklessness, and rascality by a cabinet minister.

"It is unthinkable that such a brazen attempt on his life could happen at a location with world-class security.

"The council commends security agents for their prompt intervention and interrogation of the suspect and urges the police to charge him to court to serve as a deterrent to others who may want to follow this path of dishonour."
