Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo on Thursday, raised an alarm that Boko Haram plans to bomb his house,
the National Economic Council (NEC) disclosed.
However, the Presidency
later disclosed that the homes of other top citizens, are also being targeted
by the deadly group.
Meanwhile, suspected
members of the terrorist group on Wednesday, killed eight people in a raid on a
village in Borno State.
Though Osinbajo, who
had recently toured some of the states affected by insurgency, did not disclose
which of his houses was being targeted, he was said to have told state
governors at the NEC meeting which he chaired, that security reports indicated
that the insurgents were preparing scavengers to dump refuse laden with bombs
in his house.
The Presidency later
attributed the statement to a typological error, adding that the NEC statement
issued after the meeting ought to have read that the homes of Very Important
Persons (VIPs) were being targeted generally.
