ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: STELLA ODUA LIED AND SHE FINALLY BOXED HERSELF TO CORNER

Stella Oduah, Nigeria’s embattled Minister of Aviation, was at it again, this time, the untouchable Minister, manufactured a big lie meant to divert attention from the corruption scandal involving her, by alleged assassination attempt on her life!

 On Monday evening, 26, November,2013, Nigeria’s embattled Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, reported to the police that her car came under gunfire by unknown persons at Maitama area of Abuja on Friday at 10.30 p.m.

This story was corroborated by Nigerian Police, through the  Police Public Relations Officer at the Federal Capital Territory, Altienne Daniel, who confirmed that;    “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,”

However, the cross-sections of Nigerian did not subscribe to this Oduah faked ‘gun attacked’. Below are some of the comments made by Nigerian:

“Nigerians are very wise and no one believes her story. No one had tried to kill her in the past, why is it now that she is under investigation for atrocities she has committed that someone would shoot at her car?”

“Everybody can arrange with anyone to shoot at his or her car, especially when we are not in the car and when we are under investigation.

“The issue here is simple, she broke the law, she has been indicted and should be removed. Nigerians will not fall for cock and bull stories,” said. Mohammed Tukur,  member of the Airlines Operators of Nigeria, said.

While Debo Adeniran, Chairman Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL, said that; “The cooked-up story is an attempt to silence those who had remained critical of the prudence behind the purchase of the two bullet-proof cars at whopping sum of N255m by Ms. Oduah,”

“Does it not sound more like a make-believe thing that the incident that occurred on Friday was not reported until Monday? It is clear that the story is an attempt to justify the shenanigans perpetrated by the Minister.”

Adeniran  added.

In his own comment, Captain Dele Ore, President Aviation Round Table, said, “I will not talk about that Minister until she is fired.’’

According to activist Achike Chude, he maintained that; “They are separate issues. Let the police deal with the serious allegation of assassination attempt while the government deals with the serious problem of corruption involving her” . In addition Chude said “Can a system built on corruption and nurtured and dependent on corruption fight corruption? Ultimately, corruption destroys everything including those who perpetrate it.”

Justice Ohuegbu, a lawyer and human rights activist, while speaking during a television programme on Tuesday morning asked the police to stop embarrassing itself over something the Force knows is not true but cooked up.

According to him, the story was fabricated  and “Nigerians are not fools. The incident was stage-managed. We have been having billions of naira being stolen…Nigerian leaders make themselves enemies to the people.”

Darlington Agomuo, said: “as far as I am concerned, I don’t think the drama is necessary. When you have done something doubtful, there is no need adding to it.

“We don’t really know what happened. The police had pre-empted us. So they refused to allow us doubt the story before they could confirm.

“She is drawing attention to herself again and this can embarrass the Peoples Democratic Party and the Jonathan government because I am not sure Jonathan sent her to lie to Nigerians again. This is something I find difficult to understand because they draw attention to themselves unnecessarily. The impression they want us to get is that the bullet-proof car is very important.’’

 “We don’t even need police confirmation on this. Personally, I think Oduah is not making her case any better.

“The police should not be too quick. If those who shot were actually after her life, they would have done their homework very well, not to shoot at the car when she was not there,” he said.

 Dipo Olayoku, on his own said the confirmation given to the incident by the Nigerian Police has even done more damage to the incident and the corruption allegation against the Minister.

“Nigerians would want to know when it happened, what hour it happened, what was the level of success of the would-be assassins and other reasons behind the attack,” he said.

Olayoku, also lamented that; “The House of Representatives did investigation and is finding it difficult to submit its report. The Federal Government set up its panel and the panel submitted its report secretly and there is nothing coming out from it,”
