Reports of attack on Atiku's convoy is false - Borno Police Command

The Borno State Police Command has debunked the reports of convoy of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, being attacked in the North-East state.

The PDP chieftain and member of the party's presidential council, Dino Melaye made the claim on Wednesday, November 9, 2022.

According to Melaye, Atiku’s convoy was attacked when he was leaving the venue of the rally in Borno State adding that “over 100 vehicles were allegedly vandalised by hoodlums from different political parties and about 74 persons hospitalised.”

The Borno Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Sani Shatambaya reacting to Maelaye's claim said, “The news of the attack on Atiku Abubakar’s convoy was not only fake but a false and mischievous attempt at confusing Nigerians.

“There was no attack on Atiku’s convoy.”
