The Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has described as a lie, allegation by Senator Dino Melaye that the alleged assassination attempt on him was masterminded by him (the governor).
Governor Yahaya Bello, who spoke through his media aide, Kingsley Fanwo, described such allegation as baseless, saying that he would not be distracted by anyone in his attempt to re-position and resuscitate Kogi state.
“Senator Melaye and his group should not see Kogi as their fishing point. Their allegation against me is reckless, unsustainable, uncharitable and indefensible.”
Dino Melaye, representing Kogi west in the Senate, had last week, cried out over an alleged assassination attempt on his life by unknown gunmen at his residence in Aiyetoro-Gbede Ijumu Local Government Area of the state.
According to him, the assailants invaded the residence at about 12:00 am on Saturday, shooting sporadically in the building, adding that two of his vehicles parked within the premises were damaged while part of his building was destroyed. [myad]
