How I escaped assassination
attempt, by Edo Speaker
Edo Speaker Justin Okonoboh yesterday
narrated how he escaped an assassination
attempt while returning to Benin City from his
community in Igueben local government area.
Okonoboh said his backup driver shielded him
from the assassins.
He said the assassins refused to back down
even when his police escort fired warning
shots into the air.
According to him: “On my way back from my
constituency at about 5pm on Friday where I
went to settle some land issues, my aide in
the escort van called me from his phone that
we should be on alert that a Toyata Camry
was chasing us.
“When we looked back the car was behind my
back up Hilux van. The Camry wanted to
overtake the Hilux to block me but the driver
did not allow them.
“The Toyata Camry struggled with the Hilux
for about five kilometers and they almost
crashed but did not give up.
“The policemen inside the Hilux van fired a
shot into the air to scare them but that did
not deter them as they kept chasing us.
“They pursued us from around Ugbegun-
Nebudin -Ujogba road and it was when we got
to the Benin-Auchi express way they waved
their hands to give us a warning.”
The Speaker said he was yet to ascertain
whether they were armed robbers or
kidnappers.
He however insisted only assassins would
behave the way the men did.
He said: “My security aides inside the Hilux
said the men were armed. I have enough
security aides attached to me but the
challenge is that there are no vehicles to
convey them when I am traveling.”
The Speaker said he has reported to the
Commissioner of Police. |
