“He brought out a newspaper publication and asked why did I say nobody should vote for the governor? I told him that I did not say such thing,” Saidu said, alleging that because the commissioner was not satisfied, he asked a policeman with him to kill him, but that the policeman instead shielded him from the thugs who charged at him.
