Saba, therefore, called on the Nigeria Police to investigate the attack and bring the suspected sponsors and perpetrators to book to serve as a deterrent to others.

The Kwara lawmaker, who said that the attack would not deter him from continuing to serve his people, added that, “whoever has anything to offer would not descend so low and crude to be sending thugs to attack the people in a bid to intimidate the person”.

“There’s enough space in the sky for everyone to campaign and aspire to contest for any position. It’s the Almighty Allah that giveth human beings power.

“Nobody can intimidate me by any means possible. I’m not a pushover in politics. Whoever is thinking along that direction should forget it,” he said

The lawmaker also said his life is in the safe hands of Almighty Allah, and that nobody can take it except it is the wish of Almighty Allah.
