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.
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.
The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Altienne Daniel, who
confirmed the incident, said the attack on the minister’s car was
reported to the FCT Police Command on Monday, adding that
detectives who checked the vehicle retrieved a metallic object
which was being subjected to ballistic test to ascertain whether
it was a bullet or not.
“The incident was reported to us on Monday at exactly 5.45pm
and we are subjecting the metallic object we recovered from the
car to ballistic test. I can’t say whether the object is a bullet or
not, so I can’t give you any information on it for now,” she said.
It was alleged that three shots were fired at the car while the
incident happened at about 10.30pm on the fateful night.
A source, who pleaded not to be named, said, “Her (Oduah’s)
Escalade car with registration number FST914BL was shot at
but she was not in it.”
When contacted, the Special Assistant to the Minister on Media,
Mr. Joe Obi, confirmed the incident to one of our
correspondents.
He said the issue was being investigated and noted that the
minister was safe as she was not in the car at the time of the
incident.
He said, “You said you heard that the minister’s car was shot
at, right? Of course that is true and it happened last Friday at
about 10.30pm.
