Vice President Namadi Sambo was held hostage by
suspected thugs in Kano, Monday, for about 20 minutes
before a negotiated settlement.
The incident occurred at the old campus of Bayero
University Kano shortly after the number two citizen
rounded up official engagement in the university.
It took the intervention of the Assistant Inspector General of
Police in charge of Zone 1, Tambari Yabo, before the vice
president regained his freedom.
The drama began when dozens of heavily armed thugs who
posed as loyal party men beat the security cover around the
vice president.
Like a well rehearsed script, some of the thugs in unison
chorused on top of their voices “Bamuayi, Bamuayi,
Bamuayi” which means “we are no longer with you,” while
others shouted “mungaji da aiki banza,” meaning “we are
tired of the job.”
Before the visibly shocked Sambo could utter a word, an
equally embarrassed AIG Tamara Yabo ordered his men to
disarm the protesting thugs.
However, it was at this juncture that the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, stalwarts in the vice president’s
entourage moved in and demanded to know from ‘the boys’
why they chose to embarrass the vice president.
The thugs, explaining their position, told the vice president
how they had risked their lives for PDP in the state, but that
no one has paid them anything despite promises.
The party officials were, therefore, directed by the vice
president to attend to their needs and save the party public
embarrassment.
The thugs later rejoined the vice president convoy and
headed to other areas of engagement in the city. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
