Yahaya Bello, the kogi State governor, has slammed claims of an assassination attempt on his life by military uniform men.
Reports surfaced Sunday that Bello escaped an assassination attempt on his way to an official engagement in Abuja.
According to a statement by the Kogi State Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, the attack occurred around 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 22.
“The attackers dressed in military uniforms waylaid the governor’s convoy and started shooting sporadically at his vehicle and other vehicles in the convoy. It took the swift intervention of the security personnel attached to the governor to foil the satanic plans of the unknown soldiers.”
Debunking the claim in a Facebook Live on Sunday, Bello denied such an attempt on his life, saying, ‘Misguided elements will take this out of context.
