The emir said, some hoodlums, suspected to be members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect, had invaded the convoy of dignitaries on their way to attend the funeral of the late Emir of Gombe, Alhaji Shehu Abubakar and made attempt to violently abduct some Emirs.
The Assistant Secretary in charge of media and publicity of the conference, Mr. Akpandem James said, “In response to a text message sent to him by the Deputy Chairman of the Conference, Professor Akinyemi, the Emir who was taking a deep breathe after the miraculous escape, said, ‘My deputy Chairman, I’m most grateful, it was a narrow escape.’
“Akinyemi in a solidarity message to the Emir said, ‘Your Royal Majesty, on behalf of the National Conference, please accept our heartfelt relief at the failure of the attack on your convoy. We thank Allah for your safety.’”
He added that Akinyemi who has been standing-in for the Kutigi since the demise of the latter’s wife on Wednesday, expressed the joy of the delegates over the escape of the Emir and whole heartedly condemned what he described as “cowardly and dastardly attack.”
