AGAINST media reports, Delta State Government, yesterday said armed robbers did not attack the Government House annex in Warri, insisting that the victim ran into the premises with bullet injuries.

The State government in a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Charles Aniagwu said; “The attention of the Delta State Government has been drawn to a publication on several news media to the effect that Delta State Government House was attacked by armed men on Thursday leaving one driver dead.

“The said incident was not an attack on Government House Annex Warri, but a robbery incident that occurred when a driver attached to the Delta Waterways Security Committee Chairman, Chief Boro Opudu was trailed by armed robbers while returning from the bank.

“The driver gallantly made his way to the Delta Government House Annex in Warri but sustained serious gun shot wounds on his way back to the Annex and subsequently died while he was being rushed to the hospital.
