Pandemonium ensued on Monday evening
after soldiers in Maiduguri, Borno State
opened fire on GovernorKashim Shettima's
envoy in error.
Punch reports that the governor's protocol
office is being held accountable for the
incident, as they reportedly failed to inform
military authorities about the governor's
intention to visit the military facilities.
However, the state Commissioner for
Information,Mohammed Bulama, described
the gunshots as "friendly."
"It was not an attack on the governor. It was
a friendly gunshot that was not directed at
Gov. Shettima nor his convoy. The shots
were fired into the air by soldiers who were
hailing the governor for saluting their effort in
repelling the insurgents."
Sources say the governor was unharmed.
