Two men on a motorcyle shot him as he left a bank and was about entering his car. Fortunately the bullet only scraped his scalp. He wasn't seriously injured but had to be kept overnight in the hospital for observation.
No one can say for sure if it was a robbery attack or an assassination attempt.
Ahh thank God 4 his life ooh...I read his column @ d back of d sun newspaper n really enjoy them.

ReplyDeleteCHI
Shame 2 bad people.
ReplyDeleteSaved by mercy απϑ grace. Thank God ƒσя ur life. Better serve him better than before.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a warning shot - to scare him. It's semi-assassination attempt. It'd have a connection with his line of work. The police should treat the case as attempted murder.
ReplyDeletehmmmmm, remember wen boko bombed Thisday, dey sed dey would be targeting other media houses....hmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteIts definitely an assasination attempt,if its robbery they should come down from the bike to shoot him wella and collect the money. @ scaata wat info,na Linda giv dem info b4 dem find am reach bank? Abegi thank God he mama prayer God answered it at the right time.

Nigerians and their thinking, Linda shouldn't av posted cos she'd giving them info,is this d only site that carries news abi she told them he was at the bank...smh!
ReplyDeleteIt was definately an assassination attempt cos if it was robbery, dey wld rob him of d money he collected frm d bank. Thk God for his life oo
ReplyDeleteIf Linda didn't post it someone else would ve done dat. And it's all ova d Internet already on all blogs b4 Linda did . Ok?
ReplyDeletehe didnt start writing FRANK TALK today.& 4 those that think dey can shut a voice by the bullet,smh!
ReplyDeleteThank God his life! situations like this instils more fear into Nigerians regarding the terrible state of security in the country. Imagine the guy got killed. The killer won't be traced and that'll be it. It's really shocking!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.healthandfitnessvault.net/
I guess it is an assisination attempt cos in the report he was not robbed and also they shot at his head, not his hand....reason
ReplyDeleteThank God it didn't happen. God will see us 2ru.
ReplyDeleteRoman Osas, Coming out of a bank doesn't neccessarily mean he went 2 make a withdrawal. He culd have gone 2 deposit or do something else besides, dey used a bike for easy get away and dey aimed for his head. That screams premeditated murder. If I were 2 kill someone in a public place,*thinking like a criminal* I'll use a bike 2 manouver traffic in case am being chased and aim 4 d head 2 send d target staight 2 hell or heaven(as d case may be) A narrow escape indeed. So don't 'swear' dat they wouldn't have missed d target, God intervened. It was a failed assasination attempt.
ReplyDeleteSteve is a very hard working journalist that i know very well he has paid his dues in the print media industry. E no go better for any one way wan kill am that was no bank robbery no be today im begin go bank thank God that they have failed Steve be more alert biko you still have more work to do in this country the lord is your shepherd

ReplyDeleteHow to avoid a break up & Getting over one- http://princessofzion.wordpress.com/2012/07/26/handling-break-ups/
Assasination attempt of course, God go ruin the souls who tried to kill him.I am sure he knows who they are.
ReplyDeleteThe DEAD. Shooting the DEAD in DEAD time the TIME. is fast approaching the Winds is blowing who will chase
ReplyDelete@ anon 4.14am.
ReplyDeleteHow is it ur problem if someone writes in capital letters?
The bottom line is dat we get what he is trying to say ok!
Whether it was meant to be a robbery or an assasination,we should thank God dat a life was saved today.
Someone clearly upset with his newspaper. I sometimes ponder how low humans have come with animals seeming more superior in intellect to us. Afterall, animals do not kill unless confronted or for food.
ReplyDeleteI'm cracking up reading all these comments. I certainly prefer this blog to bellanaija
