SaharaReporters has learned of a simmering tension in Kebbi State
between Governor Saidu Nasamu Dakingari and police officers upset
about the governor’s assault of his aide de camp, Mohammed Umar,
on Saturday, September 9.


According to all sources, Mr. Dakingari’s ADC had prevented a total
stranger who was attempting to pull at the governor’s clothes. Instead
of commending his ADC for protecting him, the governor allegedly slapped
him, accusing him of over-zealousness in preventing a stranger from meeting
him. The ADC is a superintendent of police.
Several of the police officers told SaharaReporters that they were dismayed
that the governor had not apologized for assaulting and humiliating his ADC.
They also accused the Inspector General of Police in Abuja of failing to
intervene and demand an apology and restitution for the assaulted officer.
The irate officers said they were determined to take to the streets to
protest the degrading treatment meted out to one of their own.
“The police authorities in Abuja have refused to comment about the issue,”
said one of the angry police officers in Kebbi State.
