Suleman’s lawyer, Samuel Amune, confirmed the attack to our correspondent, saying the cleric had just returned from a program in Tanzania and had narrowly avoided death.

He said, “He was returning from a journey and he had almost gotten to the shores of Auchi when some assassins attacked him. Three of his police orderlies, among others, died. He traveled before and just finished a program in Tanzania day before yesterday.

“He was returning to Auchi when the gunmen attacked him along Sabingida down to Warake area, and Auchi shares a direct boundary with Warake. So, he had passed Warake and was entering the boundaries of Auchi when the attack happened.”

A security expert, Dickson Osajie, who condemned the lack of security in the state, said the attack happened in broad daylight.

He said, “They attacked him (Suleman); seven people including a policeman were killed. The country is not safe; our can people move around with guns at the express and they are not detected. It is a disturbing situation.”

Contacted, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Chuidi Nwabuzor, said, “I just heard about it few seconds ago; but I cannot confirm yet. Let me hear from the Divisional Police Officer covering that area.”
