I'm not convinced that Miss Stella Oduah was attacked. She may have planned it all along probably to make people see the importance of having armoured vehicles. She was attacked on Friday and waited till Monday to report it. I'm not so gullible. I hope investigations have begun so that the truth could be unravelled.
