Smart Cole: "Buhari’s Security Nearly Killed Me!!" by Ebullience(m): 12:55pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
Ace photographer, Sunmi Smart Cole, on Thursday narrated how he was rough handled by President Muhammadu Buhari’s security detail during the colloquium to mark Senator Bola Tinubu’s birthday in Lagos. Smart-Cole, 76, who is currently recovering from the injuries sustained during the beating in a hospital in Ikoyi, threatened to sue the Department of State Service (DSS). The former head of photography in the presidency said he was revived by the former Governor, of Ogun State, Chief Segun Osoba, the Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, and the Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha. He said he was invited to the colloquium to take photographs, and that things were going on well until the president arrived and the place became rowdy. “I was invited by the vice-president’s office. The vice-president told one of his assistants, Mrs. Uwais, the wife of a former Chief Justice of Nigeria, to invite me to cover the event”, he told Thisday. “When Buhari entered with about 50 security personnel, things changed. If you stood near them, they would give you elbow. At a time, I just told one of them, ‘I am an old man; I am actually 76 years old’. “He said he didn’t care and directed another security official to make sure ‘this old man does not come near the president’. I had to take photographs from a distance. “The security operatives around the president continued to push me until I became exhausted and I slumped because my legs became weak. “I slumped right in front of Segun Osoba, Niyi Adebayo, the former Governor of Ekiti State; the Governor Tambuwal, and Governor Okorocha, who sat together, including the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki. They all saw me. I am the oldest working journalist in Nigeria. “I slumped but I did not pass out. Prof. Pat Utomi and the Publisher of Ovation Magazine were detailed by Osoba to keep me seated, saying I get too excited when I carry camera. He seized my camera.” Smart-Cole, however, disclosed that the doctors were not yet satisfied with his recovery and would spend more days there. http://dailypost.ng/2018/04/06/buharis-security-detail-nearly-killed-veteran-journalist-smart-cole/ 2 Likes

To Buhari and everyone around him, killing is nothing. Life means nothing to him. Let him keep stealing our money. In ten years time, you'll still see that his cows are 150 in number 42 Likes |

Why should the office of the vise president...even Osinbajo still be inviting his 76 year old uncle to come and snap? Is that the best way Osinbajo can reward or recognise Cole? Worst of all, He failed to ensure the safety of the grandpa he invited. |

I can relate, was privileged to provide security to some VIPs at the service of songs for the late VP Ekwueme at his oko home town. the church was all organised with some governors seated. not until osinbajo showed, pandemonium erupted in the church. over zealous security details of the VP turned the church into a rowdy market place shoving whoever was close by away all in the name of protecting their principal. smh for this country 6 Likes |
