The Borno State Police Command has debunked the news making the rounds on an attack on the convoy of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar.

This was coming after a PDP chieftain, Dino Melaye, reportedly said Atiku’s convoy was attacked when the former Vice President was disembarking the venue of the rally in Borno State on Wednesday, adding that “over 100 vehicles were allegedly vandalised by hoodlums from different political parties and about 74 persons hospitalised.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Sani Shatambaya, while addressing newsmen Wednesday, said the purported attack was false.

They should go and tell him. You want me to be a slave for a Fulani. It’s better I die. Anybody supporting Atiku is an enemy of Benue.

“My people are being killed and you want me to be quiet. My tenure ends in May and you can do whatever you want if you think you have the powers. I have written my will. When I gave it to my wife, she cried all night. If I die at 62, many of my mates have gone a long time ago and If I die today, I’m a fulfilled person but let it be recorded that I died resisting the invasion and killing of my people.

“I will never support a Fulani man to become president. If there is another person who is ready to work with me and ensure the security of my people, I will work with him.”
