He said, "A few hired assassins went after him as he was coming back from an expedition. Three of his police officers perished, among others. He was returning to Auchi when the gunmen tracked him down Sabongida all the way to the Warake hub, which places a limit on Warake. He had just crossed Warake and was entering Auchi's territory when the attack occurred.
He claimed that when his car was attacked, my wife and kids were in the escort car in the front. They began firing at my car and kept spraying bullets, he claimed. The officers, those on the other escort car, and those on the buses that carried us were all slaughtered. Seven people who were traveling in the convoy perished.
The perpetrators of this atrocity expect me to identify them so they can publicly deny; I won't do that. The fact of the matter is that since I am a man of God and my life is in God's hands, you cannot murder me.
