According to her, some metal objects are found in the vehicle which does 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, Special Adviser to the minister, Mr Joe Obi, said that the attack took place at the Ministers’ Hill, Maitama in the FCT.
“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, ” Obi said.
This woman is beneath contempt, how cheap can she get. She was not attacked all these years, it is only now that she is under public scrutiny for corruption and grand larceny that presto! she was fired upon. A highly nebulous attempt to justify the fraudulent purchase of bullet proof cars. We all know the police can be suborned to issue any report you want. Whoever protects this woman will go down with her. Whoever has ears let him hear.
