House of
Representatives member, Hon James Abiodun Faleke is a very lucky man.
He narrowly evaded
the cold hands of death after his Vehicle was attacked by unknown assailants.
An SUV was conveying him from Lokoja, the Kogi state capital, to Abuja, before
it was shot at by the unidentified gunmen.
The visibly shaken
Faleke disclosed this
himself in a report he lodged at the Gwagwalada Police
Division in Abuja. Police reports indicate the lawmaker was attacked between
7pm and 7.30pm on Sunday November 6. The bullets hit the front windshield of
his bullet-proof vehicle thrice before the first bridge at Gwagwalada.
In his words;
I was returning from
Kogi state on November 6 and my vehicle was shot at the first bridge in
Gwagwalada, which is under construction between 7pm and 7.30pm. About three
bullets hit my jeep, but thank God, it was a bulletproof car. The bullets
cracked the windscreen but did not penetrate. I’m grateful to God for the life
of my driver, orderly and myself. We reported the incident to the Police
Division in Gwagwalada, FCT.
Faleke was the
running mate to the Kogi state All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship
candidate in the November 21, 2015 election, the late Prince Abubakar Audu. He
was set to become deputy governor of Kogi before Audu’s unfortunate death.
