Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has called on security operatives to investigate the attack on his Otuoke country home by unknown gunmen.

Naija News reports that the former president was unharmed in the attack which many suspected to be an assassination attempt.

A security operative attached to the house was feared dead in the attack but no official statement was issued by the police.

While conducting sympathisers around the scene of the attack last Friday, Jonathan had thanked Nigerians for the continuing show of solidarity and sympathy following the Christmas eve attack.

He also commended men of the Nigerian military for engaging the attackers in a fierce gun battle that unfortunately led to the death of one soldier.

Speaking again on Monday when officials of the joint task force, code-named Operation Delta Safe, and the Nigerian Navy visited him at his residence in Otuoke, Ogbia LGA of Bayelsa state, Jonathan urged them to stop attackers across the country.

The former president described the attack by unknown gunmen at his residence as “mindless”.

Jonathan said: “Be thorough as you seek to bring the perpetrators to book and ensure that such mindless attack does not happen again in any part of the country.”

Akinjide Akinrinade, JTF commander; Saidu Garba, flag officer commanding, central naval command; and Saidu Garba, commander, Nigerian Navy Ship Soroh, were among those who visited him.
