IRATE YOUTHS STONE, HOLD GOV BELLO HOSTAGE IN LOKOJA
BY KAMATO!
In what appears to be Jamrate exercise in Mecca (the stunning devil’s day), Irate youths today in Lokoja, pelted stones and sachet water on Governor Yahaya Bello during Juma’t prayer.
The stone attack, it was learnt was not unconnected with the governor's alleged non performance and refusal to pay workers several months salaries.
The governor, who was said to have for the first time attended the Lokoja Central Mosque to perform his Juma’t prayer as part of the program me line up for the 25th anniversary of Kogi state creation, lately arrived the prayer ground with a long convoy including a Personnel Amor Carrier (APC).
Having lost one raqa'at prayer due to lateness, governor Bello was not allow to complete the remaining reqa'at, as some youths began to boo him inside the mosque and eventually got distracted and suspended the prayer based on security advice.
As if that was not enough, other youths out side the Mosque who are said to be eager to embarrass the governor, began to pelt stones at the sight of the governor as he was coming out of the Mosque.
The situation which eventually snowball into a total confusion, following the release of gas canister by the governor's bodyguards..
Even as the people were running away from the trouble spot, the Irate youths, like a commando movie, began to pick the already opened canister and throwing them back at the security.
The governor who was said to have eventually escaped by whisker, was smuggled into his official car and drove off living other vehicles in his convoy scampering for safety.
It would be recalled, that the governor, in fear of being lynched during this year's eid-fitr, refused to perform the eid-fitr prayer in Lokoja, as he was said to have flew in a Helicopter to Okene, to perform the annual ritual.
