See How Ameachi Escaped Assassination

  See How Ameachi Escaped Assassination Yesterday, the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike visited Port Harcourt and on his way from the Port Harcourt International Airport to Eastern By-pass, Port Harcourt, his movement was disturbed by Governor Wike's outrider. As the Minister passed through Ken Saro-Wiwa Road and connected Elekahia Road and was about crossing Nkogwu Junction to Eastern By-pass, his car was hit by the side by Governor Wike's fast moving outrider's bike. The rider of the bike immediately pulled his riffle but on realizing that the man he had hit was the former Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon.
