The Vice President,
Yemi Osinbajo has declared that the statement
which quoted him as saying that insurgents were planning to bomb his house was
wrong and a product of typographical error
In a statement late on
Thursday, his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu
Akande, said “Investigations have revealed that the story that the vice
President is a target for a bomb attack is untrue.
“There was allegedly a
typographical error in the press briefing document circulated to Journalists
after the 6 hour Long National Economic Council Meeting.
“The Vice president
actually said that there were plans that involved scavengers being prepared by
insurgents to dump refuse laden with bombs in the houses of VIPs, VIP was erroneously
reported as VP.
That paragraph should
read “The Vice President also disclosed that security reports has it that
scavengers are now being prepared by insurgents to dump refuse laden with bombs
in the houses of VIPs.”
The
59th NEC meeting was presided over by the Vice President, Prof.Yemi Osinbajo,
earlier today.
