By


Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, Wednesday evening escaped mob attack on his convoy at Ega Market in Idah local government area of Kogi state.He was on his way from Ibaji, the hometown of his deputy.

 An eye witness who spoke under anonymity explained that he went to Ibaji, to flag off a road construction.It was gathered that the youths of Idah town sighting the governor,immediately mobilised and blocked the road waiting for his return.
On his return,security agents attached to his convoy,having seen the road block, immediately began sporadic shooting and in the ensuing melee, people scampered for safety.

 But those who were fearless, descended on his convoy and battered vehicles while chanting “pay Kogi workers’ salary.”

 The report also showed that the Governor was to supervise demolition of a house belonging to the father of an alleged kidnapper but had to quickly rush out of Idah having seen the audacity with which the attack on him was being carried out.The government is yet to issue official reaction on the matter.

British Prime Minister Theresa May. Prime Minister Theresa May blasted Trump for crossing a line by posting the inflammatory videos on his Twitter page Wednesday — and then warning May to essentially mind her own business and focus on Islamist terrorism instead of him. But officials were careful to note that ties with the United States are stronger than the current flare-up with the White House. "It's increasingly clear that any official visit from President Trump to Britain would not be welcomed," tweeted London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim to hold the office. Khan has repeatedly called for Britain to withdraw an invitation for Trump to visit — and his stance appeared to gain backing amid the outrage against the president. In a sign of the disruptive wake unleashed by Trump, British Home Secretary Amber Rudd had to remind Parliament and the public that Britain's relationship with the United States was bigger than one president — and t...
