Contrary to rumour on social media that former President Jonathan escaped attack in his own state, the Bayelsa State Police Public Relation Officer, Mr Asinim Buswat said it was a case of a group of hungry youth who mistook the former president Convoy for one of the governorship candidates and chased after him, perhaps for alms.
He said On realizing it was Jonathan's Convoy as he got to his house the youth pulled back,he added,that security forces ran after them and arrested some of them.
“There was no attack on the former President. The youths mistook his convoy for a governorship candidate engaged in campaigns.“But when they discovered on getting to the entrance of his house in Yenagoa that it was that of the President, they ran away. Some of them were arrested.” They did not haul stones at the President’s convoy. They did not attack the convoy and no weapon was found on them.” Buswat Said.
