How Suntai Was Smuggled Out Of Abuja Airport, Kept Away From Acting Governor by Oilandgas1(m): 12:21am On Sep 15, 2014
A deplorable hide-and-seek game played out yesterday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja as the ailing Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba State was kept away from state’s acting governor and smuggled out of the airport. The whole game, orchestrated by a cabal close to the severely brain injured governor, was part of a design to throw off reporters who had been waiting to meet Mr. Suntai on his arrival from the UK where he had been receiving additional medical treatment.

Friends and associates of the governor as well as reporters had gathered at the local wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport as early as 6:00 p.m. based on information that his plane from the UK would touch down there at 8:00 p.m. Among those waiting to receive the ailing governor were members of the House of Representatives from Taraba State and the Secretary to the Taraba State Government, Gidion Kataps.

But the reporters were soon tipped off that the Minister of State for the Niger Delta, Dahiru Ishiaku, was spotted at the international wing of the airport waiting to receive Mr. Suntai. Consequently, some of the reporters rushed to the international wing where they met the minister, Jolly Nyame, a former governor of Taraba State Governor, a senior Air Force officer, and Mr. Suntai’s lawyer huddled in a conversation. Suddenly, the acting Governor of Taraba State, Umar Garba, arrived at the international airport. Without looking at the huddled officials, Mr. Garba headed toward the VIP lounge, expecting to meet Mr. Suntai. To his surprise, there was nobody at the lounge. As the acting governor waited in the lounge, our correspondent saw a Mercedes Benz car with a customized number “4” and a Toyota Land Cruiser driving out of the tarmac of the international wing, joining the convoy of the Minister of State for the Niger Delta. The convoy zoomed off in high speed to the home of ex-General Theophilus Danjuma in the Asokoro area of Abuja. The convoy’s commando-style exit at top speed was apparently meant to make it impossible for the acting governor’s convoy to catch up with them.
