The Nasarawa State Governor, Umaru Al-Makura, on Thursday night
escaped death when some youths ambushed his convoy at
Mararaba Gurku in Karu Local Government Area of the state.
Reports gathered that the attack took place when the
governor was coming back from an installation ceremony in Gurku,
where he presented a staff of office to the Emir of Gurku, Jibrin
Waziri, as second class chief.
Scores were reportedly injured during the incident and were taken to
an undisclosed hospital for fear of being attacked by the miscreants
in the area.
Confirming the attack, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr.
Ugochukwu Theodore, said that the rear windscreen of the press
crew bus in the governor’s convoy was smashed by the protesting
youths.
