An alleged attack on the car of the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, at Maitama, Abuja on Friday was reported to the Federal Capital Territory Police Command on Monday and many Nigerians have suggested that it was stage-managed.
An Escalade car belonging to the minister was reportedly attacked by unknown gunmen at Ministers’ Hill, Abuja on Friday, but the incident was reported to the police, three days after the attack.
Deputy Superintendent of Police, Altine Daniel, speaking for the police, told newsmen that the incident occurred at about 10PM on Friday, but was only reported to the police on Monday.
Confirming the incident, the minister’s spokesperson, Joe Obi claimed that the shooting took place at Ministers’ Hill in Maitama area of the Federal capital territory, Abuja.
It was not clear if the vehicle was the Minister’s private car, or an official one, but Ms. Daniel also said Ms. Oduah was not in the vehicle when the incident took place.
According to the police spokesperson, some strange metal objects were discovered in the vehicle, which will be subjected to ballistics examination.
Mrs. Oduah recently stepped into hot water when news broke she authorized the purchase with official funds of two bullet proof cars by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority for her use.
As expected, this development forced out hundreds of prompt comments from NigerianEYE readers. Most of them quick to conclude that the alleged shooting and assassination attempt was just a stage-managed attempt to attract sympathy from Nigerians, or as a justification for her 1.6 Million dollars bullet proof cars scandal.

It is not a strange development in Naija, it just to cover up her misdeed. In developed world she will either be in jail or hell.

Who would want Stella Oduah dead? Stop fooling yourselves! If I were her, I would honourably bow out. Let's face our daily bread and forget this issue, because nothing we expect would come out of it. Where are the ones before her? PDP we hail thee!

This is obviously outrageous. Politicians should stop taking us as fools and some how I don't blame them because Nigerians have chosen that role for themselves. This is just a decoy to cover up the initial blunder.. she must bear the weight of the law

Anyway, Nigerians have since forgotten the Oduagate fraud just like the Police Pension scam, the leader of the integrity group's case at the House of Assembly and many others! We are used to it. But Allah keeps on watching!
