Drama as man attacks Obasanjo at Lagos airport

VANGUARD ONLINE:     The former president’s attacker, whose identity was not immediately known, had earlier before Obasanjo’s arrival attempted to enter the presidential wing of the airport, but was turned back by Air Force personnel manning the gate, especially as he could not explain his mission at the wing.

    The man was not only denied entry, but was also driven away from the precincts of the wing and told never to return to the area, particularly as President Goodluck Jonathan’s presidential jet was parked at the wing.

    The ambush
    Unknown to the Air Force personnel and some mobile policemen whose presence at the airport was due to the president’s presence in Lagos, the man had laid ambush, hiding behind the fence of the car park attached to the presidential lounge.

    *Obasanjo

    Former President Obasanjo’s chartered jet touched down a few minutes after 9:00a.m., and the former president, in his usual jocular manner exchanged banters with press men attached to the presidential lounge. He then hopped into his car, a Toyota Landcruiser special utility vehicle, SUV, sandwiched between two excort vehicles with his security aides, leaving behind Chief Kenny Martins who came to receive him.

    The attack
    As the convoy of three vehicles tried to negotiate its way into Airport Road, towards the local wing of the airport, the man emerged from nowhere. He ran towards the Jeep in the middle of the convoy, opened the door and started kicking and raining blows on the former President.

    Rescue
    The opening of the door of Obasanjo’s car drew the attention of both the Air Force personnel and Mobile Policemen some 100 metres away, and they quickly dragged the man out of the car and gave him the beating of his life.

    When he recovered from the attack, the visibly shaken Obasanjo immediately asked his driver to drive off, while scores of security men had rounded up the attacker who, amidst beatings, screamed persistently “America is watching, …America is watching.”

    The man attempted to escape, but when some of the military personnel cocked their guns to shoot, he quickly laid on the floor begging for leniency.

this is funny, but that man shouldn't have done that to obj

why can't he do it to ibb

this is the beg. Of obj public disgrace.yeye  , man. Where is mutalab when you need him?

Not quite sure beating up an old man is the answer. I don't particularly care for OBJ, but that doesn't mean he deserves physical violence. How old is the man, 70+?

The attacker is probably a mental patient. He will spend the rest of his life staring throughs metal bars in Kirikiri.

Obj is a national treasure. Who will we all direct our frustrations at if Obj is not around  

I secretly like Obj anyways. His buccaneering nature is a throw back to the real, strong, bush-man type african men of yesteryear.  Quite endearing . Unlike the mostly metrosexual wimps masquerading as African men these days

gbam

why did he attack ibb that destroyed the economy at the first place

Baba is very handsome now o.

mr dapo, u r very funny. Swing it round 4 a minute, how many did obj killed tho.not physicallybut thru his 8yrs of missrule and pillage.
You recon if the incident was in a dark alley o.b.j would spare his life?a begi.or u want us to believe he knows not those that killed bola ige.
The man is no sain. In a sane country all fmr. Leaders will be servg. Good time in d penn.

I don't like the man at all. I'm not a fan of him, or his style of leadership. I think it is counterproductive (incidentally, my father is a big fan of him, or at least thinks he is the best of the options available.)

Still, whether you like or hate a man and his policies, you don't beat up a guy who can be your grandfather. I'm a young guy, I won't lay hands on anyone that old (unless of course he attacks me first.)

BTW, it would be entirely different if this guy wanted to assassinate OBJ. If you want to cleanly kill the man and execute him, go ahead and do that (and prepare to lose your life when the security agents kill you.) But beat him up? What is the point of that? It doesn't accomplish anything.

He should ve kpeme d bastar-d.Getting that close to that animal was a good .opportunity he shouldn't ve missed.Obj's demise will be grorious than abacha's to real nigerians.

you're clearly not one of the brightest. Pele.

Ur brightness is delusional.

Your brain is stuffed full with toilet tissue, if thats the best way to solve problems, somebody like me woulda beaten you up since. Maybe it was you dad out there trying to beat obj, like father like son?

D faith of of late doe of liberia will be 2 good for obj and scums like u, invisible when time comes and d time is nigh.

you're so dim.

you cant spare time in England to go to college?

Yeah, makes no sense to compare OBJ to Abacha. OBJ left Nigeria better off than he found it (assuming you can temporarily ignore his People's Demoncratic Party rigging elections everywhere.)

I don't like the man at all, but you have to give credit to what he did. GSM, increased international respect, a better economy, resurgent hope in the future of the country. He is/was too much of an autocrat, but he did a fairly effective job.

Also, you have to remember how TERRIBLE the times were in Abacha's era. Comparing Abacha's era to OBJs is like comparing night and day. Only a fool will call OBJ a complete failure, he did a pretty good job, all things considered.

Also, notice how we don't fear the army as much any more these days. Are any of you seriously concerned about coups? If someone else had gained office after Abacha, we might still be concerned about coup.

Give credit where it is due, imo

some ppl just come to this forum and start chatting rubbish

how can u compare obj to abacha or ibb

obj did the best for this country

this man is trying to remove power from the former politians and give it to the new ones

how do some ppl reason, i wonder

People actually have a problem with this? It is obvious that the man had a problem with OBJ like most Nigerians. This brave man should be commended. We need more people like him to go after these criminals.

D prolifiration of gsm is not an achivement,it is a thing of d time-communication and money making. Even chimps are hooked up these days.

i think we shld all stop eulogising looters ,drug dealers who dance with numerous titles shamelessly on our street.
This incident wld have missed the press if o.b.j was welcomed with osondu owenu song.this guy did what most nigerian will cowardly shy away frm but rather foam on the net on how best most probs.are solved.
Take it frm me china didnt get there  by celebrating loosers.

Ezeuche, we need martyrs man.

Oh Obj must av bn responsible for Gsm at other parts of Africa too? Whether OBJ or no OBJ that wld av reached every part of the world.

BTW, thats not an achievement. . .All i c as his achievemnt is the sale of what belonged to the whole of Nigeria to a few pple. . .what they term capitalism

Heh, Seun needs to Web 2.0 up this site and interface it with Facebook! That way he can drive up the amount of traffic he gets and increase the value of his product.

Nigerians that celebrate traitors are eitheq inherently stupid or collaborators.
