The former Governor of Gombe State, Alhaji
Mohammed Danjuma Goje, was on Monday
quizzed by the state Police Command for
campaigning unlawfully in parts of the state.
Goje, now at the Senate who, it was learnt was
invited by the state Police Commissioner
Abdullahi Kudu Nma, for embarking on political
campaign at a time there still exist a blanket ban
on political activities.
The Senator, who was detained for over two hours
at the state Police Command, spoke to newsmen
shortly after his release.
He said: “I wasn’t campaigning but was rather
consulting my constituents to know their
problems and look into how I can assist them
within my power and available resources.”
Goje used the opportunity to call on law
enforcement agencies to be fair and just to all
Nigerians.
“We are calling on the authorities and security
agencies to be fair to all political parties. The
Nigerian constitution allows for the existence of
different political parties.” Goje pleaded.
He however said the discussions he had with the
Police were fruitful, as they were able to
understand themselves.
Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy
Superintendent Fwaje Atajiri however revealed that
the former Governor was only invited for
questioning because he was moving about
campaigning with a large number of followers,
who were wielding dangerous weapons.
“Senator Goje was invited by the Police for a
chat, which went peacefully. He came into town at
the weekend, gave us a letter that he was
attending a wedding but later we got to know he
was holding a campaign rally at Kumo in Akko
Local Government Area and some hoodlums were
there with all sorts of dangerous weapons.” He
said.

The men in black are filled with bunch of clowns since 19..

So, Goje was only invited for a chat which ended peacefully while none of his followers AKA hoodlums who were wielding dangerous weapons were arrested.

Good job to the men in black. Oya! Oga, make u clap for urself.

BTW, let me use the chance to address the 'Book-Space' issue once and for all!

Everyone has his goals here...ours is not just for the sake of getting a million "Likes," but it supports our business in a great way.

How you do explain this: you are supposed to be on the third row of the 'Zero' page which is Front Page, but when you finally post, you are now on the 1st page

What should be discouraged is leaving it like that. In most cases, it is usually modified.

In short, those that do it are simply wise men/women!!!

People don't even read the thread before booking space... SMH

It is good for GEJ,his TAN and other fronts,yet bad for an opposition politician. It is this sort of unequal treatment of people that is keeping Nigeria in this sheol.

Early morning like this I don't talk about politics, BTW Maybe the man knows He can't win

No be him fault na.. He just couldn't wait to get on the throne...

I don't believe he was quizzed. I'd say he went to do some willful donations (bribe) to our friends.
