Speaking with Daily Trust, he said his security aides battled to disarm the gunmen, and that they sustained gunshot wounds in the process.
Asked if he suspected armed robbers or assassins, Odey said: “I am not in a position to confirm that. The police who have since launched investigation will have to tell us who the gunmen were. And how many have been arrested so far.”
Sources said the gunmen jumped over the fence of the speaker’s residence to gain access and that they shot sporadically to scare the security operatives.
