cheap lies

Tyche: There's no need for a long sermon, this story na wash.

My brother na wash jare. Why is it always Oshiomh[b]ole[/b]?

Dont say wat u dnt knw. His convoy was rily attacked yday. Who else is responsible if not d number 1 opposition party in d state.

qplus: I was at Usen and observed everything live, 3 people were shot. I managed to excape for my life

were you among the thugs ..

Skipfr: Dont say wat u dnt knw. His convoy was rily attacked yday. Who else is responsible if not d number 1 opposition party in d state.

Oshiomole should try another line cos this one is not working. Coming up with cheap stunts like this shows the extent Nigerian politician can go to win election. I thank God anyway he did not hurt himself.

MMMMM OSHO BABA! I hail O. This one na another Obanikoro or Aregbesola survived assassination.

Again??

I witnessed every thing, about 3 students were shot but were also taken to d hospital. I noticed funny movements of tugs even before d governor came. But d students really wanted d governor to enter their school to show him d state of d school, but I think d governor got security briefing not to enter as it was already 7pm, so the students blocked d exit and became restive, d next thing I heard was a gun shot and few seconds later, it became sporadic

Max'diamond:
Oshiomhole is always escaping death.. "juju @ work." na wa o.

if tis st0ry is tru,and n0 injuries,knw nw that al these p0litical aspirants are with a strange f0rm 0f pr0tecti0n "juju"...n0 d0ubt

Oshiomole remains d best Gov in Edo state .Evrybody knw quite alright is the nxt Gov ,so sure God that have been with him when he was in NLC wil surely c him thru,ACN! democracy for justices

What a shame! People killing and maiming one another in the name of politics. Politics is not surposed to be a do or die affair but our politicians have made it so. Its unfortunate.

Billyonaire:
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole

Suspected political thugs yesterday attacked Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, top government officials and stalwarts of the ruling Action Congress of Nigeria in Usen town, Ovia South West Local Government Area of the state.

A statement by the state Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Louis Odion, said the thugs, suspected to be agents of an opposition party, opened fired on Oshiomhole and others who were on a campaign for the July governorship election in the state in the area.
Yesterday’s incident was the second time Oshiomhole would escape death in two months since campaigns for the July 14 governorship election in the state gathered momentum.

The governor escaped by a whisker on April 29 when a tipper ran into his convoy on Auchi-Warrake road, during which three journalists were killed.

Odion said Oshiomhole, shortly after paying homage to the Onogie of Usen, His Royal Highness Oluogbe II, at his palace left at about 6pm when his convoy ran into a barricade not too far from the palace.

“Naturally, the security details attached to the governor came down to remove the bar. As they were clearing it, tens of heavily armed thugs emerged from nowhere and opened fire on the governor for several seconds.

“Dutifully, the brave security details attached to the governor, supported by an additional contingent of regular policemen deployed to maintain law and order, rose to the occasion. They were able to shield the governor, key government functionaries and others, including top leaders of Edo Action Congress of Nigeria, to safety without sustaining any human casualty.

“But several official vehicles, including Toyota Landcruisers, Hilux pick-up vans and Toyota Corolla saloon cars, were either badly damaged or riddled with bullets.

“Apparently annoyed that they missed their target, the thugs later descended on the near-by police post and vandalised it,” the statement added.

The state government, while condemning the attack on the governor, however, urged politicians to play by the rules and not to resort to violence as a campaign strategy.

The statement added that but for the restraint displayed by the governor’s team, there could have been heavy casualty toll in the attack.

The government urged the people to remain calm and law-abiding, so as not to play into the hands of those desirous of fomenting trouble out of fear that they might lose the election.

Security Agents (aka Governor's Team) born and raised in Nigeria, trained in Nigeria showing restraint in apparent assassination attempt of a sitting Nigerian governor?

Were they working with the assassins?

There was an assassination attempt on Oshiomhole's life how come the Thugs weren't shot, the police weren't shot but na student dem shoot. This is getting interesting i would like to wait for part two of this film. which would be Oshiomhole giving a public speech on how Anenih is after his life and he is giving the police 48 hours to fish out the thugs.

let them continue, where is eruobdo, adedibu and d likes who belief election is die or do affair.
they must live 4 ever.

ACN abeg make una de use una common sense though eno dey common.

he is man of the people, sure he wil win no matter their attempt. His speech during the debate shows what his upto

Oshiomole and his long, comical stories sha! Lol!

No deaths, no injuries, no arrests? Must be the set for the latest James Bond movie. 007: Edo Gubernatorials. Hope Genny got the fèmale lead.

Chichilas: Why are there no casualties? How can tens of thugs open fire on a convoy, riddle cars with bullets and yet, nobody dies? Story is fictitious.

That's naija politicians for u. Trying to whip up sentiments with cheap propaganda.

Or maybe everyone on oshiomoles convoy used ayeta and odeshi?

just heard the news on nta benin now..they said that according to the police commissioner osho went to usen for a rally and at the end of the rally,the students of the poly there wanted him to speak to them,but he could not as it was already late at night,but the students got angry and started to throw stones at the convoy,the security aides had to shoot to disperse them...we heard two students were injured...

I have liked Oshomole from his days as Labour Leader
But this story is undoubtedly a planned one by Mr Adams
no human casualty was recorded...this film was directed by Lancelot Immasuen and Tchidi Chikere

Why these lies? Students of Usen where shot by the Governors escort and they were harmless. The souls of these youths will cry out one day.

Please it is a very gist,they just showed what is happening.some student of useh polythenic clashed with the goverment and two students were shot.the students went on rampange and burnt doown the police station.anybody can confirm fOrm itv,ebs or silverbed edo state

I really hope it isn't stone throwing students that have morphed into barrel chested, machine gun totting assasination squads.
If so, the only thing that has been murdered is not a politician, but the truth. In Nigerian politics, truth regularly has its virginity stolen by the unwashed.

Oshiomole seems to be running at top speed into a rock created by his very own verbal gymnastics, a man torpedoed by his love for dark drama.

Y would sum people just wake up and begin to say all sort of lie that was not wat happen where do u get dat story frm

May curse be on those foolish/gullible men who would allow a politician to manipulate their minds with money. Our citizens are the root casue of our problems because the politicians still need to work with some of them to complete whatever evil plans they have. when will people ever learn to be good? when?

Have you heard about armoured vehicles and defensive driving? Have you also considered that those shooters may not have been well trained?
Professional assassins don't just spray and pray at their targets, they try to be as precise as possible in order to maximize the chances of their success.
If an attempt has been made in the past, don't you think he would be smart enough to take precautions?

Nigerian Politicians have had the past 3 decades to become experts at Political Violence. Oshiomole is a rare case of a Politician who escaped the Assassins bullets which makes me very suspicious of this incident. A public event as a place to carry out an assassination presents a lot of problems.

1: Unplanned, Unexpected Crowd Behavior - The crowd (students) can either panic and run closing down escape possibilities or worse unwittingly becoming a shield for the target (Gov. Oshiomole)
2: True Assassins look for the least resistance areas (distance, time and speed) to the target, from all accounts it looks as if they were waiting in the vicinity,enough time for people to identify them or at least the car they came in.

There are gaps of information (Pictures of vehicles, collateral damage i.e innocent bystanders who got caught in the fire)

Okija JuJu was there the bullets disappeared after firing

Oshiomhole is over doing this thing. He should calm down, after all, the election is his to lose. Sadly, innocent lives are being lost/put at risk just to garner sympathy before elections

Again? What is this? The 10th this year? This man like attention or something!
