The minister was not in the car when the shots were allegedly fired.

The FCT Police Command on Monday in Abuja confirmed that gunmen fired shots at the car of the Minister of Aviation, Ms Stella Oduah in Abuja.

The spokesperson of the command, Altine Daniel, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the incident occurred at about 10 p.m. on Friday.

She added that the minister was not in the car when the incident took place.

Ms. Daniel, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, however, said that the incident was reported to the police on Monday at about 5:30 p.m.

According to her, some metal objects were found in the vehicle which do not look like the conventional bullet.

“The objects will be subjected to ballistic test,” she said.

According to her, investigation into the incident has begun.

Also confirming the shooting, the Special Adviser to the minister, Joe Obi, said that the attack took place at the Ministers’ Hill, Maitama in Abuja.

“Fortunately, the minister was not in the car at the time the attack took place.

“An official report has been made to the police and the police are currently investigating it,” Mr. Obi said.

Mrs. Oduah has been in the news recently over her roles in the controversial inflated purchase of two bullet proof cars by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, for N255 million; with many Nigerians calling for her sack and prosecution.

President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday confirmed that he had received the report of a three-man committee set up to probe the role of the minister in the scandal.

Who could be those after her life?

Orchestrated for sympathy. Ineffective usage of wool to cover gullible eyes.

If hit man wan Hammer big fish, dem no dey miss target.

We tank Allah for frotection.

This Nigeria sha, why is it the period that she's under scrutiny over the inflated purchase of amoured cars that somthing like this has to happen.

Its almost as if its a ploy to justify the purchase of the vehicles.

Not buying it.

Now, I see why she wanted the bullet proof cars. LOL!!!!
She has been Vindicated

Last Words for you.. Madam, Resign jeje.

loooooool, makes me imagine what a child that failed woefully could do to deceive his/her parent that they passed. See this woman wan justify buying those armoured bmw. Kai we don suffer

hahaha, action film. Someone is trying to justify why she needs the bulletproof car. She was conveniently not in her regular car. She should just resign and stop all the shenanigans make we hear word. I was actually expecting such a movie from her. This confirms that the people advising her are just too local.

The Yoruba mafia at work.

Na wa oh! ThankGod she was not hurt

So this people wants her dead since it has been proven that she committed no crime? She is very charismatic and nothing the enemies of progress masquerading as progressive can do to harm a chosen one. We know our enemies but God pass them

Tinubu and Buhari e-warriors truely want our dear Stella Oduah DEAD. Imagine the comments that have been made so far? These heartless fellows have already dismissed the alleged attempts on her life with a wave of the hand. By implication, until they see BLOOD gushing out from the side of Stella Oduah or she is pronounced DEAD and they see her DEAD body, they will not believe. Some people have indeed sold their soul to the DEVIL because of politics

It's unfair na! Why did she hire people to come and do something to cover up her sinful nature?? This reminds me of a Governorship candidate in Anambra who kidnapped himself just to be popular.

Odikwa! Serious!

Sunny_bobo: The Yoruba mafia at work.

If she really wanted to convince us, she should have at least been in the vehicle at the time of the shooting.

no wonder she really needs the bullet proof car

Dora was targeted for doing interfering with illegal drug importation and manufacture, thus that explains her enemies.

Stella Odua is under probe for inflated purchase of amoured vehicles.

There's a difference in their cause.

Stella fought the concessionaires..Babalakin,Harry Akande,Maevis e.t.c

Madam Stella, try harder next time, make better plans before you execute. You failed.

Try kidnapping yourself, fake your death etc
Just do something more sophisticated.

Goodluck in your next attempt to vindicate those bullet proof cars.

Chei ya! Stella oduah must think nigerians are a bunch of simpletons. This is the length you'll go to justify your having amoured cars. You must have a fetish for those cars. Don't worry. You have convinced us. The nigerian army will soon dash you one tank. I'm sure that's even safer that amoured BMW's.

I couldnt stop myself from laughing for the past 10mins after reading this,do they think we are fulls,any one that believes this political script should be stoned to death,they are trying to justify their crime

Stella is under probe for messing up the aviation mafia. She has been under threat for a long time now. Did you not read ffk's write ups? She is not guilty of anything but her transformation of the aviation sector. She did not inflate anything. She did not embezzle any money. The same people that want her out now want to snuff her out because the blackmail ploy has failed. They will surely fail
