Police Confirm Assassination Attempt On Delta Speaker’s Life

by Our Reporter

The Delta State Police Command yesterday through its spokesperson,
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Lucky Uyabeme, refuted an
earlier statement credited to it in an online medium and confirmed that
indeed, there was an assassination attempt on the life of Rt Hon Victor
Ochei, the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, penultimate
Friday at Obomkpa in Aniocha North Local Government Area of the state.

Mr Uyabeme who made this disclosure during an interactive session with
journalists in his office at Asaba, said that “on Friday, November 1,
2013, the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon Victor Ochei
was at Obomkpa in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State for a
function, and there was an explosion under the chair he was supposed to
sit on.”

He revealed further that the mystery the police are trying to unravel now
is, how come local canons were placed under the seat he (Ochei) was to sit
on?

The Police Spokesman averred that he never had any direct or proxy
interaction with the reporter, adding that”I am very surprised to see this
publication by Sahara reporters. I don’t even know whether there is
Saharareporters’ correspondent in Delta State.  In fact, I only spoke to
The Sun Newspaper correspondent on the issue. I therefore urge members of
the public to disregard the Saharareporters’ publication as all what he
stated there quoting me were all lies
