The man no get sense at all. They did that in self defense. That move is a reckless one. The soldier may think he is a suicide bomber that wants to attack them.

Why would they attack him? Is it that no one has the right to overtake a military convoy? Why wouldn't they stop him to know why he had to overtake them? I am waiting to read the press release of the Nigerian Army on this.

It is not advisable to overtake a military convoy in security challenging areas. Many soldiers have gone because of this silly act. as in if it happened to be an insurgent that overtook them

I think all these rubbish have to stop, I have a similar experience along Jos road last year from BAUCHI and we were all asked to come down from the car and kneel down in a thick bush,all other buses have to stop and give the convoy 1 hour before they took off while they handed us over to police at check point.

well,in Nigeria everybody likes to claim right.when force is used to correct them,they blame the Government, president or system.
Why will a Prof. who ought to be very knowledgeable try to overtake a military convoy conveying sensitive equipment at this time.
The soldiers did the right thing to the best of their knowledge. They thought it could be suicide bombers or an attack on them.
Because he is a professor doesn't make him immune to suspicion.
we should leave sentiments apart,if you where a soldier risking your life for your country,and u find yourself in such a situation,what will you do?
Note-They didn't assault him,they only immobilized his vehicle.

Once it is called Highway, there is no speed limit attached to it. In an ideal situation you have right to overtake any car on highway but if you do such in a place like North East at the current situation I think you are inviting trouble. Well let's wait for the NA statement.
you obviously have no knowledge of the frsc laws , all over the world highways have speed limits , and the speed limit in Nigeria is 120km/hr , nonentities like you are the reasons why some escapable accidents still happen

This is the complete story from Daily Trust. The military apologized
-------------------


Soldiers have shot car of the Spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, Professor Ango Abdullahi, on his way to a meeting in Tirwun Village in Bauchi Local Government Area of Bauchi State along Bauchi-Maiduguri road.
In a Telephone interview with Daily Trust Correspondent Professor Abdullahi who is the Chairman Governing Council of Bauchi State University Gadau said "I woke up in the morning around eight o'clock. We were to have a meeting in the State University Gadau. After we passed Awalah round on our way to Gadau we reached Tirwun Village. We saw a convoy of some soldiers. They were driving slowly. Our driver maneuvered and overtook them. We just heard sounds of gunshots, seven ,eight bullets hits our car and demobilised our vehicles. We managed to stop, but we thank Allah the bullets didn't hit anyone of us inside the vehicle"
Professor Abdullahi said " after we stop the soldiers came out shouting that we shouldn't over taken them , because they are escorting sensitive materials. I have never seen a reckless action like this in my life," he said.
He said he informed the State Commissioner of Higher Education Alhaji Ibrahim Aminu Mohammed who reached out to other Security agencies and the army.
Professor Abdullahi said The Army sent a captain who visited him and apologized. He promised that the Brigade commander will make a report to army Headquarters in order to know the unit where the soldiers came from because they didn't inform them that they will pass through Bauchi.
An aide to Abdullahi said the bullets damaged the engine of the vehicle and destroyed the radiator.
In his reaction the State Commissioner of Higher of Education, Ibrahim Aminu Mohammed said they were happy with the quick response security agencies in the state as the state Director DSS , Brigade Commander and the State Commissioner of Police visited the scene immediately after they were informed,
The commissioner said the Brigade Commander has ordered for the arrest of the soldiers, and he had informed the Defense Headquarters immediately.

Omooba77:
Prof Ango Abdullahi Shot In Bauchi

Vanguard gathered that the former Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, attacked his car as soldiers shot at the car as his driver overtook a military convoy.

Narrating what happened to newsmen in Bauchi yesterday, Professor Abdullahi said he was on his way for an official assignment at Bauchi State University, Gadau, where he is the chairman of the university’s governing council.

“It was in the morning as I was travelling in my official car with my driver. I was going to Gadau for a meeting. We had just passed the Awala Hotel roundabout when I saw a military convoy moving very slowly.

“I was trying to catch up for the meeting, so my driver overtook the military convoy. The next thing I knew they opened fire at us, with bullets were sprayed on the car.

“The bullets damaged the engine of the car, damaged the car that we had to park by the road side. The soldiers came out and were shouting angrily at us.

“They were demanding to know why we wanted to overtake them, asking if we didn’t know that the soldiers were exporting sensitive materials,” he said.

According to him, “they just left us there and continued their movement. I have never seen such a reckless act.

“I called the Commissioner for Higher Education and told him. The Commissioner for Higher Education called the security agencies chiefs to inform them of what happened.

This is an act of pure professional arrogance. What makes the soldiers think that their mission was more important than the mission of the professor?
If their mission was that sensitive, they should have moved at the dead of the night to avoid obstructing other road users. What if he was a professor of medicine rushing to the theater to save a life. These arrogant fools should be called to order.

Myopia is suicidal. It is foolishly fatal to overtake a military convoy during normalcy let alone in a troubled region like the north. Have you heard about ambush? Refrain from defending senselessness. The prof is fortunate to get away alive. He should be thankful to GOD.
