Vladimir Putin himself rose to power through a rapid ascent from an obscure municipal official and intelligence veteran to the presidency of Russia.
But that's different. A security detail is like boy-boy, someone you send to fetch water and such

Last week I posted about people that follow other people (David Cho, Bashir Abubakar and Idris Kazeem Ahmed), well here is another one. This is Hamza Al-Mustapha.
angry
Hamza had sent sgt Rogers Mshelia and his crew to Lagos ro unalive Mrs Kudi Abiola and Mr Nelson....so we read those troublesome days of SW politicians crackdown,....Nadeco was in sixes and sevens then.

Late MKO, Ige, OBJ, Pa Ajasin, Pa Adesanya, Gani, etc, all felt the heat and all overcame his Kano boss then.(Soyinka and Tinubu were artful dodgers)
grin

Abacha used dem to assassinate political threats, and sometimes they also go kill people for rituals.

Whats the difference between bodyguard and security?
SmartyPants:
You people have this talent for talking absolute nonsense. Pull up pictures of any political officer's bodyguards and you will indeed see that most of them have no noticeable muscle mass. They look just like this fellow.

Simultaneously, pull up pictures of any western celebrities bodyguards, and you will notice they look muscular just like our own.

Common sense should dictate that different classes of VIPs have different security needs. Your local celebrity's security largely functions as a bouncer, to keep fans from getting too close. Politically exposed persons don't need that because you can't get close to begin with. Their bodyguards largely function as threat assessors and respond with firearms not brute force.

As long as he meets their requirements. That's what matters. We have certificate forgers and criminals rising to top positions here in Nigeria.

Just saying. It would be strange if a member of Tinubu's security detail is being touted to replace him!

It's even very easy for MC Oluomo to become President in Nigeria. Highest, oppositions will go to court.

MC Oluomo is an influential labour leader, quite different from a,disposable someone whose job is to use his body to block bullets meant for Tinubu

Good reasoning.

Someone that protects someone can easily and conveniently overthrow the person he's protecting. Dont ever doubt the power and influence of your gateman.

Of course, but doesn't mean you designate your gate man your successor!

This whole article comes to me as a western sponsored agenda

The article was about Putin body guard why drift to Putin? Why call him a tyrant why talk about his security details?
