Security aides were reportedly injured on Saturday when
gunmen attacked the convoy of Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi state, along the
Abuja-Lokoja highway.
Kingsley Fanwo, the commissioner of information, said the
attack took place near a naval base which is few kilometers from Lokoja, the
state capital.
The commissioner said the incident, which occurred around
12.30 pm, left several people, including security aides, injured.
“Thank God our governor left the scene unscathed and there
is no cause for panic,” Fanwo said.
“Some security aides
and other aides attached to the governor sustained some degrees of injuries and
have been rushed to medical facilities for attention.
“We urge the people of Kogi to remain calm as security
agents are in full control to ensure the arrest of the hoodlums behind the
attack.”
Fanwo said the state government would ensure that
masterminds of the attack are brought to book.
