Jamb registrar escaped assassination

The Registrar of Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board, JAMB, Prof. Dibu
Ojerinde escaped assassination by
whiskers when hired assassins went
after him.
The incident happened
on Monday night when
the intruders scaled
through the fence of the house, entered
through the back door and gained
entrance into the house while the
security men attached to the compound
did not notice as they were stationed at
the gate of the house.
The security personnel which include two
regular armed police men and other
private security guards at the gate did
not take notice of the incident
throughout the period the operations
lasted.
Confirming the incident, the Registrar
said according to the story narrated to
him by the children and relations who
are staying with him, they were
terrorized during the operation as the
assassins were continuously asking and
looking for their father, the Registrar.
The children told the assassins that he
has travelled for official assignments but
the men were not convinced.
"They instructed one of the children to
lead them into the Registrar's living and
study rooms which they searched
thoroughly but could not find Prof. Dibu
as he went on official assignments"
At that point, the assassins decided to
look for him through the ceiling of the
house moving from one ceiling to the
other as they locked up the occupants in
one of the living rooms thinking the
Registrar was hiding up in the ceiling.
They searched and scattered every
hiding places the assassins suspected the
Registrar may be hiding. It was after
their target could not be found that they
left the house.
According to Prof. Dibu, "nothing was
taken out of the expansive residence
despite the thorough searching
conducted on the compound"
The Registrar confirmed he travelled
officially in preparation for the Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination slated
for today, Saturday, April 27, 2013.
