THE TRUE STORY BELOW.

THE IMPUNITY OF EXECUTIVE CONVOYS ON OUR ROADS

By Soni Akoji

September 11, 2015

Yesterday my friends Lois Iorvihi, her younger Sister Joi and brother Jerry were at the receiving end of Police brutality at the instance of an Executive convoy.

The trio were on their way from Makurdi to Abuja. The journey from Makurdi through Lafia to Akwanga was smooth until they got to Nasarawa Eggon less than 100km from Abuja.

If you are familiar with the road, just immediately after the bypass on that sharp bend where many souls have perished, a dispatch rider overtook her car and was crisscrossing in front of her instructing her to clear off the road.

Before she knew what was going on she heard a loud siren from behind. As she was trying to veer off the road, a Hilux van loaded with riot Policemen armed to the teeth pushed her car off the road. In her agitated state she managed to bring the car to a halt in front of the valley.

Immediately she brought the car to a stopped four riot Mobile Police men descended on the car using the nozzle of their rifles to perforate and scratch the body of her car.

While this was going on, her brother seated on the passenger seat wind down and pleaded with the Police men thus:

“PLEASE SIR, TAKE IT EASY. CAN’T YOU SEE THAT SHE IS A WOMAN AND ALREADY AGITATED.”

Immediately they dragged him out of the car, used the butt of their rifles on his jaw and beat him up to a pulp.

While this was going on her younger sister Joi brought out her phone and took some pictures. They saw her and seized her phones and Ipad, and smashed all their devices.

Meanwhile Lois has gone hysterical and was screaming on the middle of the road shouting, “Is this fair,” repeatedly.

At a stage traffic began to build up on both sides of the road. Someone whispered to her, “Madam their Oga dey inside that Jeep, go and beg him.”

She then walked towards the heavily tinted SUV bearing the Nigerian Coat of Arm and insignia of a Governor. When she got to a few yards before the car, the heavily tinted widow was brought down. Lo and behold, seated at the owner’s corner was Governor Tanko Al Makura of Nasarawa state.

The first thing the Governor said was, “Young girl, you are so rude. Look at how you’re dressed like a prostitute.”

(She was wearing a short gown that covered up to her knee).

In her agitated state, she fired back at His Excellency, Governor Tanko Al Makura and said:

“How am I rude. Is this fair? Is this why we voted for you? We did not vote for you so that your convoy will run us out of the road. Look at what your security are doing? They are destroying my car, beating my brother to a pulp and smashing all our mobile devices just because we had the misfortune of driving in front of your convoy?”

Governor Al Makura fired back at her thus:

“You can take the case to wherever you wish or go to hell.”

He wind up and his ADC who was standing by the car window pushed her away and entered the car.

She saw his name on the tag on his chest. She called out his name, RINGIM!

And he fired back at her saying, “YES, THAT IS MY NAME. I AM THE GOVERNOR’S ADC. YOU CAN GO TO ANY LENGTH YOU WISH, WE ARE EQUAL TO THE TASK. WE WILL HANDLE YOU. RAT!”

And they zoomed off leaving the Hilux van loaded with riot Policemen.

They arrested Lois, Joi and her brother Jerry and took them back to the Divisional Police Headquarters in Lafia at about 5pm yesterday.

On getting to the station in Lafia, she was slammed with two count charges:

1) OBSTRUCTING THE CONVOY OF GOVERNOR TANKO AL MAKURA.

2) BEING RUDE TO GOVERNOR TANKO AL MAKURA.

The were detained until this afternoon and released after forcing her to write a letter of apology addressed to His Excellency, Governor Tanko Al Makura of Nasarawa state for obstructing his convoy and being rude to him.

As we speak Jerry is in pains and presently receiving treatment from Police brutality.

His offense: Asking the Policemen to take it easy with his sister who was driving in front of Governor Al Makura’s convoy.

Joi is depressed! Her phones, Ipad were smashed on the road and a Police man attached to the convoy of Al Makura used his jungle boots and jumped repeatedly on the devices so that they are destroyed beyond repairs.

Take a look at the attached photo of Lois’s car. That’s her Peugeot 407 without a single dent before the encounter with Governor Tanko Al Makura’s convoy.

My people, is this fair? Much as we cannot do anything and Tanko Al Makura and his Rottweilers playing God has all the powers and teeth to deal with hapless citizens who obstructs his convoy on a Federal Highway, we must ask the question again and again, IS THIS FAIR?

Today it is the turn of Lois, Joi and Jerry. Tomorrow it may be your turn. Remember injustice to one, is injustice to all.

Let the words go out, share it widely, the convoy of Governor Tanko Al Makura and the Policemen attached to him are a beast oppressing motorists on the road.

Run for dear life when Tanko Al Makura is driving behind you.

The Last line:

Tanko Al Makura SHAME ON YOU! BIG SHAME ON YOU!

ASTA LA VISTA!

HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE!!!

You are not nigeria so where are you? Chad or somali. Stop judging on fallacy but with facts.
Though I think you don't you lack manners and see no reason continue quoting you

Guy, try as much as you want to, but the Governor is guilty unless you are telling me the lady has been driving around in a damaged vehicle and carrying broken phones everywhere she goes. Politics should not make you blind, because in the end it can happen to you or someone you know. Governors have been doing things like this, remember Ohakim who flogged a reverend father for traffic issues and eventually lost the elections .

Governor Tanko Al Makura's Media Team Have Just Issued A Press Statement on The #GoToHell Saga:

PRESS STATEMENT

The Attention of Governor Umaru Tanko Al - Makura of Nasarawa State has been drawn to an online publication Title “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 Al - Makura 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.

Governor Umaru Tanko Al - Makura


For all the lies you have used millions of Naira to spread on media, Mallam Ahmed Tukur, Allah Ya Isa, God Dey, Olorun Wa.

There is no Nigerian who does not know the recklessness of Government convoy drivers.

Most Governors dont have the courtesy to even say sorry to the electorate.

This is the reason why most of the lawmakers want him impeached sometime ago. That alleged foul speech calling another woman prostitute was bad. If anyone called his wife a prostitute, how will he react?

1, What kind of security risk will a 'lady and a minor' pose to armed security escort.

2, No explanation was given for her badly dented car.

3, You 'managed to stop the vehicle' and 'after she stopped', which do we believe?

4, Your convoy stopped on the same dangerous Eggon junction', even though she refused to stop but later stopped at same area Akume was shot
in 2003.

5, For a mother driving on a Nigeria expressway with her child to " came down raining abuses", on a convoy of police escorts, like as if she is mentally deranged. angry, who believes that thrash?

This press statement can't be relied upon as the true account of the the incident, as it's silent on the part of the smash of the glass of the car.

To this end, it should be withdrawn and public apologies issued, taking full responsibility for repairs of the car, else...........

How come the Governor appointed this Special Assistant on media and Publicity who doesn't know how to manage the image of the Governor?

This publication is more derogatory and has caused more damage and ridicule to both the Governor and the entire state.

Could it be that this guy is also working against the Governor or he is just clueless?

The LIES are just too infantile to say the least. NUJ should investigate and revoke his license if he was ever a media person.
When I read intelligent comments such as dis coming from a lady I beam with pride.
Meanwhile, I can confidently tell u dat people frm nasarawa state r far more intelligent n humane compared to dis thug of a governor n his goons.
Leadership in all sphere of endeavor is too critical to b left in hands of people who r not properly groom for it..'you are dressed like a prostitute ','you can go to hell'.A governor of a state saying such speaks volume of us as people in d committee of a very civilized world.

This isn't the first time. I believe the lady considering the over-zealousness, over_skill of police personel attached to VIP. For almakura, I also believe, he is capable of saying that. I also believe if the said lady was in hijjab the gov's action would have been the opposite. Discrimination! The gov must apologize
