Kogi Mornach Narrowly Escapes Assassination Attempt by Swagavillage(m): 6:13pm On Sep 24, 2015 |
The Ejeh of Ankpa and Chairman, Ankpa Area Traditional Council in Kogi, Alhaji Ahmadu Yakubu today,narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by some unknown gunmen,The News Agency Of Nigeria (NAN) reports. The gun men attacked at the Eti-Aja Eid prayer ground in Ankpa where the mornach alongside some Muslim faithfuls were observing their Eid-el-Kabir prayer. Speaking to newsmen,the traditional ruler disclosed that the gun men who were about 9 in number,were armed with guns and other dangerous weapons,he added that while he was observing his prayers, the gunmen attempted to attack him but the guards attached to him quickly shielded him and were successful in dispersing the deviants. Yakubu expressed gratitude to God for saving his life, saying that although he was aware that hoodlums in the town had been plotting his downfall, he did not know they would go that extreme. He said he had openly condemned the escalating criminal and secret cult activities in the town, adding that criminals among the youth were giving Ankpa a bad name. “We are not bad people; we will continue to fight them; we will cooperate with security agencies to flush them out and bring them to book; we will not allow them to overrun Ankpa,” he said. Also speaking with news men on the incident, Alhaji Ibrahim Abagwu, a senior government official at Ankpa Local Government Area, condemned the assassination attempt. “It was in view of the escalating criminal and cult activities that we imposed a 7pm to 6am curfew to restrict movement of people. Now that they are after the Ejeh, I hope the security agents will be more serious,” he said. He called on security agencies to ensure that the curfew was observed, to enable the arrest and prosecution of hoodlums. The Police Public Relations Officer for Kogi command, William Aya (ASP), was contacted but said they were yet to be briefed by the Ankpa division. http://yesreport..com/2015/09/kogi-mornach-narrowly-escapes.html?m=0 lalasticlala |
