state said.
SaharaReporters equally important confirmed the story from the Deputy
Speaker through our source.
Maikarfi who sounded fearless on the phone said, "It is true that
they came wanting to kill me in my brother's home. They got tips that
I was there; when they came they did not meet me, after they searched
all the rooms holding everyone at gunpoint. God saved me and I thank
God, they did not also kill anyone in the house. Only the wife was
traumatized as they took her around the house searching for me."
He added that the security agencies in the state are aware of the
development, and that he will continue to stand by the truth and will
not bow to any pressure to comprise his office.
