He, however, insisted that he didn’t know the person who masterminded the assassination attempt, claiming he was not part of the discussion that took place before the plot to kill Apostle Suleman.
Speaking to pressmen, he said, “The attack on him (Suleman) was to assassinate him. I was not part of the discussion; Ilayasu and Labisca were the ones involved in the discussion.
“We attacked him with five AK 47 rifles. Labisca trailed him from where he was coming from to the point where we attacked him.”
