According to a source close to the former governor, the driver’s quickness allowed the ex-governor to escape.
Ohakim was the main target, but his driver was clever enough to outsmart them because they were driving to obstruct him, the source claimed, adding that because their primary target had gotten away, they burned his backup car by blocking it. Along with him, four officers were burned.
It was gathered that a reinforcement escorted him to his home from Owerri, the state capital.
