Ex President Jonathan was not attacked in Bayelsa State as reported.

Ex Nigerian President,Goodluck Jonathan,was not attacked or in any danger of an attack after all as reported in the news today.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Asinim Butswat, of The Bayelsa State Police Command has debunked reports that former President Jonathan was attacked in his state. According to him, a group of hungry youths mistook a convoy of the former President for
one of the governorship candidate on electioneering ahead of the December 5 election.

They followed the convoy perhaps for alms, only to discover it was that of Jonathan. When they realized this,  the youths, who had followed him up to his house in Yenagoa, pulled back and ran away. Security operatives however ran after them and arrested some of them. They did not attack the convoy and no weapon was found on them.

These are some of the men who were arrested in the supposed Goodluck Jonathan attack in Bayelsa.

It had been reported earlier that the ex president had escaped death narrowly.
