Igboho pointed out that reports made available to him by the guards at the house said the attackers stormed the house in a Hillman bus and four others shooting sporadically on arrival.
He said that the gunmen ought to have come to his residence, saying,” why can’t they come and meet me here and test their capacity. They need not to go to my former residential place; they should have come here to meet me”.
“If they are sure of themselves, why can’t they come to where I am living. They know I am no longer here. Had it been they launched the attack on this house where I am living. I can assure you that there is no way we won’t have evidence on the attackers. At least, we will have one of them as evidence”
Blueprint learnt that some of the attackers were said to be conversing in their local language during the attack on the Sunday Igboho’s house early Tuesday.
