Nigeria is indeed a zoo . There is nothing that they do, I repeat, nothing justifies damaging their car. The governor should uphold the law. Even if the governor's convoy was obstructed, the legal course of action will be to detain and prosecute them, not to destroy their car. Zoogeria.

sammoR:
Reading this I am shaking with anger coz I experienced something close to that with one politician. I was just wishing they will touch my car. I have seen this happen in portharcourt where a convoy was on the wrong way and these same policemen came down and started breaking headlights of people who were on their right side of the road. You have the pictures. Leave the vehicle the way it is for now. Take pictures of your brother in his state, then look for a good lawyer and Sue. Use your Facebook and social media. People have gotten judgement against the military and we should not sit and allow this happen. Nigerians should rally round this family. Enough is enough from these stupid politicians! See the impunity, she should take it wherever she wishes. One thing I know is Buhari and Osinbajo will never be a part of this. Please petition the presidency also and the house of assembly!! We voted them in and they have no right to do this in any guise at all!!!

omenka:
Very sad commentary indeed. I just hate to see ordinary folks oppressed by those who, in reality, are supposed to be at their service.

As if your Nnamdi Kanu won't use siren when he becomes president of your republic, just wait and let him taste power and I'm sure then it will be too late if you realize at all cos I am sure his "opium" is still having an effect on you.

meanwhile Biafra is a bad dream you all will wake up from one day.

Eluwilussit:
We voted change. I am sure Lois, Joi and their entire family were wielding brooms and shouting sai baba at every chance, just a few months back.

We are in trouble. We voted wild animals into govt.

Sai baba!
Sai APC!

This is just a tip of the iceberg.

DarkFive:
What party does this governor belong to?

The victim may not be able to go to court as would have been done in a sane clime,we nairalanders and ordinary citizens of Nigeria are her hope of emotional respite.we must propagate this injustice until it remain an indelible mark on history of this unconstitutional and barbaric assault against a harmless nigerian citizen.pls propagate it intil even the angels hear of it.tomorow it may be you.

goodgate:
Yeah you can't be allowed to easily move close to a Governor and even speak to him,besides i do not see any reason why the Governor will want to let his men waste such time manhandling them, since he was in a hurry.

PRESS STATEMENT
The Attention of Governor Umaru Tanko Almakura of Nasarawa State has been drawn to an online publication Titled “Go To Hell!” Governor Al Makura Tells Family On Highway As His Goons Beat them To Pulp" alleging that his convoy assaulted a family on their way to Abuja.
There is no iota of truth in that publication but the misrepresentation of facts calculated to tarnish the image of his Excellency by mischief makers.
For the avoidance of doubt and to set the records straight, on Thursday 10, September 2015 about 3.pm when the convoy of His Excellency was approaching Nasarawa Eggon Local Government a vehicle was right on the middle of the road and inspite of several efforts by the police outrider and the pilot to slow the car down, the vehicle remained right in the centre of the road refusing to make way for the convoy which nearly caused an accident.
The action of the vehicle gave room for suspicion considering the fact that it was at the same area in 2003 that the convoy of former governor of Benue state George Akume now a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was attacked.
A close look at the vehicle, the Escort commander noticed a women driving with a minor in the front seat and directed the convoy to track her with caution not to push her car by the shoulder.
This took up to 3-5 minutes before the Escort commander managed to halt her. She stopped abruptly on the road forcing the convoy to also stop and other road user causing heavy traffic along the high way.
As She came out, she began to rain abuses on the Police boasting that she is a lawyer and a daughter of a police Commissioner and has the right to drive the way she wants.
Noticing her unruly behavior, the Governor directed the Escort commander to invite the Police from the nearest police station to handle the matter to avoid further congestion and obstruction of traffic on the Highway while the convoy continued on its journey to Abuja.
It is the height of mischief and irresponsibility for anybody to insinuate that Governor Almakura made disparaging comments on the woman in question.
Any body that knows Almakura will attest to the fact that, it is not in his character to use derogatory words on people let alone a woman, the fact remains that the governor did not engaged in any exchange of words with the woman.
We called on the press and the general public to disregard the misleading and wicked insinuation aimed at portraying the governor in bad light.
Ahmed Tukur Special Assistant
( Media & Publicity ) to Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura

The problem has never been the politicians. It is we, the people they lead who have got all the problems. Instead of forming a united bloc against all these thieves and vagabonds, we begin to take sides with them and criticize anyone who raises objections. Aregbesola threw a lavish wedding party for his daughter in spite of what is going on in his state, and some fools will still support him instead of berating him in one voice as the masses. Same for Fayose's son buy a Porsche while his father sways the masses by deceptive mingling and charades in public places, yet some fools will not stop defending him. Until we all come together to say NO to them, we will remain in suffering

dawno2008:
this is the problem with Nigerians, cos it didn't happen to you or in your presence,then you think it a lie,even with evidence of dent car,you still believe a governor is an emperior,seriously we need to change our mind set,you could be the next victim.
