I didn’t say General Buratai was attacked says Senator Ndume

Former Senate Leader and Senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, has denied media reports attributed to him that former Chief of Army Staff, Lt- -General Tukur Buratai, narrowly escaped death as his convoy was attacked last Friday in Borno state by Boko Haram insurgents.

He was reported to have made the alleged revelation while speaking on Sunday on Channels TV monitored programme, Politics Today.
