Nasarawa Massacre: Angry Girl Asks IGP, Gov Al-Makura To Produce Her Father

-

Apparently angered by the poor handling of the operation which led to the massacre of about 60 policemen in Nasarawa State, the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Abubaker, weekend, shunned Governor Tanko Al-Makura in Lafia by refusing to visit him after arriving the state for on-the-spot assessment of what led to led to death of the officers.

Mohammed was also said to have been angry that the police high command was not informed about the operations which led to the killing of policemen and operatives of the Department of State Security, by the state police command.
However, as a result of IGP’s failure to pay him a courtesy visit, Governor Al-Makura, rushed to the police command headquarters where he regretted the killing of the security personnel.
But as the governor addressed the police boss, one of the daughters of the slain police officer, whose identity was not immediately known, broke through the security and gripped him, the governor wailing and asking him (Al-Makura) to produce her father. It took spirited efforts by the governor’s security details to free him from the little girl.
However, addressing Mohammed, the governor said, “You are welcome to Nasarawa State. We are deeply touched by how you feel about your men; how caring you are about your men who were out there to carry out their duty of maintaining peace and protecting life and property in our society.
On behalf the people of Nasarawa State, I equally sympathize and condole with you and Mr. President and other service chiefs, particularly the Director of DSS over the loss of your active and patriotic men.
As a matter of fact I have not been myself since this incident happened because I am a living witness to what the security high command both at the federal and state levels are doing in the country to ensure peace and security. Before I came into power, security challenges had been overwhelming in the state; but through the assistance of your men and their show of expertise, they were able to contain such problems.

The dispatch with which ordinary Nigerians rescued the motorist whose vehicle plunged into the Lagos lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge on Saturday, January 26, 2013 proved once more that Nigerians are great people. Unlike most stories from Nigeria that usually end on a sad and demoralising note, this story ended on a happy note like a Nollywood film. It was nothing short of a miracle. The sole occupant of that vehicle was brought out of the lagoon alive. But he was not rescued by the Nigerian Navy or the Nigeria Police Force; neither was he rescued by the National Emergency Management Agency or Lagos State Emergency Management Agency or any agency of Lagos State. Mr Shola Oladimeji was rescued by fishermen.  These were not fishermen that used modern boats with special gadgets or equipment. These were men with old-fashioned canoes with paddles.
