INEC Chairman, JEGA Escapes Death

Professor Attahiru Jega, Chairman of INEC on Saturday escaped death when some youths attacked him at the palace of the Emir of Kazaure, Alhaji Najib Hussaini Adamu, in Jigawa State.

Jega was said to be in the town to attend the wedding of the daughter of the Emir. It was gathered that trouble started around 12:30pm when the INEC boss was coming out of the palace and the youths identified him "as one of those deceiving them in Abuja".

Sources told Olufamous.com that the attack on Jega was led by a young girl as youths in the area began to hurl stones at his convoy. Several cars in the convoy were said to have been damaged and their glasses smashed. Sources said the situation would have been worse but for the intervention of security agents. 

The youths sang war songs alleging betrayal on Jega’s path. “You cheated us, you cheated the North, you declared falsed result...”, some of them said.

  1. Buhari's threat is beginning to bear fruits. Many northern youths will never understand it as a warning but as a direct instruction to attack anyone they perceive as enemies

    1. Why all the war??? It was obvious that Buhari lost the 2011 general election cos the EAST, SOUTH, WEST and some NORTHERN states were with President Jonathan. And remember, Buhari ONLY campaigned in the NORTH, he never went to the SOUTH, EAST and WEST. So why is he fighting and threatening the peace and unity of Nigeria.
