LEADERSHIP reports that the Commissioner had earlier on Sunday issued a statement on behalf of the Kogi State Government alerting the public to failed assassination attempts on the life of the State governor while on transit from Lokoja to Abuja for official engagements.
While addressing journalists at his Abuja residence, an event that was also streamed live on his verified Facebook page, the governor, however, confirmed that there was a fracas involving his security escorts and other security operatives at a checkpoint on the road and it was thereafter resolved amicably.
“Thereafter, I began to hear in the social media about assassination attempt. I want to state categorically very clear, dear Nigerians, there was no assassination attempt on me Yahaya Bello, the executive governor of Kogi State by the military or by anybody. “It is natural or let me put it this way, most often or sometimes, there will be misunderstanding or fracas between sister agencies that are performing their lawful duties. That sometimes cannot be ruled out but assassination attempt, there is nothing like that.
“All the accolades, all the awards and all the successes we have achieved today in Kogi State are as a result of the collaboration between all these agencies and my government and the people, so there is no how we at these hours that we need each other most to ensure that the Renewed Hope of our President is sustained and the dividends of democracy is delivered to our people, it is not this time and hour that we are going to have any form of misunderstanding.
