Deputy Superintendent of Police, Altine Daniel, speaking for the police, said the incident occurred incident occurred at about 10PM on Friday, but was only reported to the police on Monday.
It was not clear if the vehicle was the Minister’s private car, or an official one, but Ms. Daniel also said Ms. Oduah was not in the vehicle when the incident took place.
According to the police spokesperson, some strange metal objects were discovered in the vehicle, which will be subjected to ballistics examination.
Mrs. Oduah recently stepped into hot water when news broke she authorized the purchase with official funds of two bullet proof cars by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority for her use.
Returning from the United Kingdom on Sunday, President Goodluck Jonathan confirmed that he had received the report of a three-man committee he set up to probe the role of the Minister in it.
Nigerians are calling for the Minister to be prosecuted, but Mr. Jonathan did not say if any action would be taken.
However some analyst say Friday’s ‘attack’ might have been stage-managed to attract some sympathy to the Minister. Masquerade234 will keep you posted.
