The incident happened as Governor Ifeanyi Okowa in his Christmas message called on the citizenry to pray for peace.

According to the report, the lawmaker survived the attack which was carried out at close range and was rushed to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.

Izeze before his election was a well-known rights activist. According to the report, Izee was said to have been attacked around the Effurun area of the state.

The incident occurred about 9 pm on Thursday, a source told NIGER DELTA TODAY Online.

Meanwhile, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has enjoined Christians all over to use the occasion of the Christmas holiday to pray for peace in the state and the country.
