I Was Not Attacked, Says Saraki ;D by tabisegroup(m): 6:22am On Sep 25, 2015 |
ABUJA- SENATE President Bukola Saraki has
denied reports that he was attacked Thursday
when he went to pray as part of activities to
mark this year’s Eid- El Kabir.
A statement from his media office yesterday
read: “The attention of the Media Office of the
Senate President has been drawn to media
reports that the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar
Bukola Saraki, was allegedly attacked at the Eid
Prayer Ground during the prayers to mark the Eid-
el-Kabir in Ilorin.
“The Senate President arrived at the venue this
morning without any incident, prayed with other
Muslim faithful, including the Emir of Ilorin, His
Royal Highness (HRH), Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu
Gambari, Speaker of the Kwara State House of
Assembly, Rt. Hon Ali Ahmad and a former Chief
Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Alfa Belgore,
among others.
“Before the Senate President left the prayer
ground, he spoke to reporters who had asked him
about his message for Nigerians to mark the Eid-
el-Kabir.
“We want to say that nothing can be further from
the truth as the Senate President was never
attacked nor was there any attempt made on his
life to warrant him being ‘whisked away’ as
reported by a section of the media.
“We however observe that there was a protest
allegedly staged by local government employees
over purported non-payment of salaries which
hoodlums attempted to hijacked but this
development was immediately curtailed by
security agents.
“Therefore, to say that the Senate President was
attacked at the venue of the prayers is totally
false and a figment of the imagination of those
behind the story because the protest was never
targeted at him, neither was any missile hurled at
him.
“The Kwara State Government has since issued a
statement in which it stated that majority of the
workers in the state have received their salaries
and that those yet to receive theirs will do so on
Monday as Thursday and Friday of this week are
public holidays.” |
