“They want to kill Governor Wada” – Family member alleges

A member of the family of Governor Idris Wada of Kogi has said that they are suspicious of the accident that occurred on Friday along the Lokoja-Ajaokuta expressway.

The source in an interview, said the crash which also killed his security aide and injured two other state officials, was masterminded by “unknown forces” to kill the governor.

He however refused to give names of those suspected to be behind the murder plot.

“We have no doubt that the Governor was the target of their machination,” a family source said. “They want to kill him. They want to eliminate him at all cost.”

He also queried why it was only the Governor’s car that was affected out of other vehicles that were in the convoy.

He maintained that: “Yes, his car had a burst tyre and veered off the road. Why is it that the cars behind didn’t ram into him. Nothing happened to all the other cars in the convoy.”

The source also said that the Governor’s car is a bullet proof Lexus Jeep, adding that an ordinary accident wouldn’t trigger the magnitude of impact the car suffered.

“It was a state-of-the art car and everything in it was bullet proof, the windscreen, the body and other parts. It was fortified against this kind of crash.”

“How come everything failed?” he questioned.

“It is now clear that the Governor’s life is at risk.”
