Bauchi:

The Spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Professor Ango Abdullahi, was Wednesday shot by some soldiers in Bauchi on his way to Gadau. *Prof Ango Abdullahi 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.”

Why did the driver overtake a convoy of military vehicles in a north eastern village if not that he's asking to get shot at?

Funny man..he is so lucky to be alive..

Its just like 3youngmen,riding in an SUV trying to overtake a CBN cash movement bullion van.

One Janjaweeeeed virus detected

The man was lucky he was not felled. It's a silly thing to do around here. The military men here don't take chances. Everyone is a potential terrorist with explosives. They shoot and ask questions later. And I don't blame them when most times, they are often the targets.
Hardluck Prof. Be more sensitive next time. Lol

Tho itz unfortunate but I can't blame dem

There morale is high anything security threat they open fire

Even borno govnor was shot
