Kebbi Governor Slaps ADC For Being Over Zealous

From:	Ladun Liadi

This happened on the 9^th of this month, but Sahara Reporters just got to hear of it.

SaharaReporters has learned of a simmering tension in Kebbi State between Governor Saidu Nasamu Dakingari and police officers upset about the governor's assault of his aide de camp, Mohammed Umar, on the 9th of September.

Several police sources in the state told a correspondent of SaharaReporters that the assault took place at the Ahmadu Bello International Airport in the state capital, Birnin-Kebbi, at a ceremony marking the airlift of pilgrims. They stated that the unruly governor slapped his ADC in the presence of pilgrims and other officials at the ceremony.

According to all sources, Mr. Dakingari's ADC had prevented a total stranger who was attempting to pull at the governor's clothes. Instead of commending his ADC for protecting him, the governor allegedly slapped him, accusing him of over-zealousness in preventing a stranger from meeting him. The ADC is a superintendent of police.

Several of the police officers told SaharaReporters that they were dismayed that the governor had not apologized for assaulting and humiliating his ADC. They also accused the Inspector General of Police in Abuja of failing to intervene and demand an apology and restitution for the assaulted officer.

The irate officers said they were determined to take to the streets to protest the degrading treatment meted out to one of their own.

"The police authorities in Abuja have refused to comment about the issue," said one of the angry police officers in Kebbi State.

He picked up his cane and went out through the side door as noiselessly as possible. He began to tiptoe towards the boys who were busy picking the oranges and plucking the ones their hands could reach. "Now, all of you come over here to me," Mr. Jacob said. The boys froze and looked around but they could not see him in the darkness. They were nonetheless frightened. "You all go on your knees," Mr hicobs voice came again, then his figure came as he left the shadow of the cathedral. Afraid, the boys fell on their knees. They were too young to know that he had not seen their faces in the darkness and would not recognize them if they ran off "Do you know you have sinned? That you disobeyed me by going to the orange tree? I told you the fruits were the forbidden fruits yet you went there. And since it did not belong to you, you stole from it," Mr. Jacobs said. ....
