Disaster Averted In Abuja As A Soldier Pointed His Gun At President Jonathan. by Dapromzy333(m): 9:04am On Jan 17, 2015
A major disaster was averted
yesterday at the Armed
Forces
Remembrance Day ceremony
at
the National Arcade in Abuja
as
one of the soldiers in the
firing
party mistakenly pointed his
rifle
at President Goodluck
Jonathan’s
direction.
According to Leadership, the
incident happened
immediately
after the President and other
top
government officials took
turns to
lay wreaths at the foot of the
monument of the Unknown
Soldier in honour of Nigeria’s
fallen heroes.
The incident which happened
briefly saw presidential
guards
quickly form a human shield
around the President when
they
noticed the soldier’s mistake
to
forestall tragedy.
Jonathan, who was in the
middle
of the two-row firing party
was
apparently unaware of the
incident as he stood
motionless
after laying his wreaths.
During the traditional 21-gun
salute, the lower part of the
soldier’s rifle mistakenly got
tucked in his uniform, which
prevented him from lifting
the
rifle to his shoulder level. This
rifle
tilted the posture of the
soldier
which caused the barrel and
muzzle of the gun to turn
towards Jonathan.
Sensing the danger, a plain
clothed security agent
standing
behind the soldier quickly
came to
the soldier’s rescue by
correcting
the his posture and thereafter
helped him in untangling
what
the lower sling swivel of the
rifle
from the his uniform.

Only women talk the way you just did. Go and get a book, "How to control your emotions" by Joyce Meyer. It will help you.
