Police deny viral claim that Uba hired assassin
Meanwhile, the police command in Anambra has reacted to claims that Senator Uba hired an assassin to unleash terror.
Viral stories making the headlines said the hired assassin in police custody recently confessed to the arrangement with Senator Uba.
However, dismissing the report on Sunday, October 31, DCP Aderemi Adeoye stated that nobody ever made such a confession. He, therefore, urged Nigerians, especially the people of the state, not to entertain unnecessary fear as the election draws near.
APC candidate Andy Uba escapes death from police accidental discharge
