Speaking with Vanguard, a family source in Abuja said that the former president was not at the Otueke home when the gunmen struck around 3 am on Tuesday., having left Otueke for his Yenagoa home just before midnight.
“The gunmen assumed that he was in the Otueke residence having seen him visiting thrice on Monday till late. His movements confused the assailants.
“The gunmen, who came with many motorized boats, were heavily armed but were intercepted by soldiers at the river bank linking the home. But they shot and killed one of the soldiers instantly while one is in critical condition.
“But the soldiers fought back and killed no fewer than two of the attackers whose bodies were taken away by the fleeing gunmen,” the family member added.
