JONATHAN Escaped Assassination! How Deadly Gunmen Attempted To Kill Former President
Former President Goodluck Jonathan was ambushed on November 30, 2015, in Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State, when his motorcade was breached by suspected militants reportedly affiliated with the All Progressives Congress (APC). The incident occurred while Jonathan was being escorted through the city, sparking concerns about his safety and security.
According to eyewitnesses, the attackers, who were allegedly linked to the APC in Bayelsa State, launched a surprise assault on Jonathan’ s convoy, causing a commotion in the area. The former president’ s security detail quickly responded to the situation, ensuring his safety and preventing any harm from coming to him.
The attackers reportedly trailed the motorcade, which had been traveling from the Julius Berger bridge area, and pursued it to the entrance of Jonathan’ s private residence in the Kpansia area. However, before the situation escalated, security personnel assigned to the former president overpowered and arrested the suspects.
Following the arrest, the Bayelsa State Police Command took several of the attackers, believed to be hired militants, into custody. These individuals were detained for further questioning and investigation into their motives and affiliations.
This incident prompted a thorough investigation by law enforcement, with authorities aiming to uncover the extent of the plot. There were concerns that the attack could have been politically motivated, given the rising tensions in the state at the time. The police began to explore whether the assailants had any connections to political figures or organizations, particularly in light of the upcoming elections.
Although Jonathan emerged from the attack unharmed, the attempt on his life raised alarm about the increasing risks of political violence in Bayelsa State. Security measures around prominent figures, including the former president, were scrutinized and bolstered in response to the incident.
