Thank God for civilzation like this - bullet-proof car. This is what Boko boys don't want. But they use phones and internet to communicate. Anyway am happy the man survived it. It may be from the least expected source, even his own...

Dino Melaye escapes assassination
in Abuja
Premium Times
Mr. Melaye said two bullets hit his car.
A former Nigerian federal lawmaker,
Dino Melaye, Monday night escaped assassination in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital
city.
Mr. Melaye, a staunch government
critic, was attacked in the high-brow
Central Business District of the city,
while making his way home. He said the attackers, driving in a Golf
car, crossed his car near the NNPC
towers and immediately began
shooting at him.
He said two bullets hit his car before he
managed to escape unharmed. “I am safe,” he told PREMIUM TIMES.
Mr. Melaye, a former member of the
Peoples Democratic Party, shortly after
leaving the National Assembly,
switched to the opposition flank,
actively leading the January 2012 fuel subsidy protest.
He has since then remained an anti-
corruption activist.
“When you fight corruption, corruption
fights back strongly,” he said, blaming
the attack on his anti-corruption stance.

If the car is the one posted here then it was shot at the passenger side.
Besides if they really wanted him dead, he would have been dead. Most assassination in nigeria involved gaining access to the victim's home or abducting them not random drive by shooting like gangsters.
If it wasn't staged though, I think the M.O and type of car used looks like boko things. Perhaps political boko haram.

A sad part of this story is that this happened just in front of NNPC towers where there are stationary APC and heavy security details harmed to their nails and the attackers driving a VW Golf escaped.

Was there no response or intervention from the security attached to NNPC towers when the gun shots were heard or their duty is limited to providing security for the Tower alone?

Anyway, Congrats Dino

I am Happy for him, that he survived the ordeal.

More MONEY, More TROUBLE!
angry angry

I never heard that Chukwu, the Gari seller or Mama Sikira, the Beans seller got shot at?
(aside stray bullets when armed robbers are operating!)

I never heard that Awolowo or even Jakande had Bullet-Proof cars! (even while in Power!)

There must be "something" that is attracting death-by-assasination, to these "Politicians / Big People"



Maybe, just maybe, "the Guilty are always Afraid" OR "The Evil that men do, lives with them"
It might also just be that "Nigerian Politicians are EVIL PERSONIFIED".


Either way, trying to snuff-out somebody's life, just like that, IS UNACCEPTABLE!

But what can one do? The Police are just simply useless when it comes to prevention, investigation and detection of crimes like these (Bola Ige, Alfred Rilwan, Kudirat Abiola, Funsho Willians, Dele Giwa, e.t.c)

I tire for dis we countiri.

I feel you Bro!

Have you ever listened to Fela Anikulapo's "ZOMBIE" Song?

If not, try and listen to it and your question will be answered!

Those security details at the Tower are the classical example of "ZOMBIE" Fela was talking about!
grin grin

Fela may be a Ganja-smoker ....but all his "predictions" (of over 30years in advance!) have come true, one after another!
I would rather listen to Fela, than one pimping M.O.G, .... aiming to buy his own Aeroplane from church member's contributions

Did u say "thruth"? There is no other truth truer than the fact that Jesus saves and will alwaya save. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
If God had wanted him dead, He wouldn't have allowed the attack to be while Dino was inside his car.
Learn to respect other people's religion so that yours would be respected. I don't know why some of you have this feeling of inferiority rooted deep down in your sub-conscious mind. Haba!
