The near helplessness of so-called state-security-services, in Nigeria in the face of
embarrassing security breaches, could not be more evident than in the recent daylight abduction of Mrs Iyabo Basaru – wife of a state commnissioner as reported here
One wonders how it was supposed to be the Information Minister that offers immediate comments on the issue.
Hear him:
Commenting on the kidnap incident, the State Commissioner for Information, Mr Ranti Akerele, ruled out the payment of any ransom, saying the necessary security agents had been contacted on the incident.
But that is even beyond the point.
What is more startling, is that events such as these, very common in the Niger –Delta region, seems ready to kickoff, earnestly in Ondo state.
Of course, one might argue, its just a case of one abductee – but the stakes could not be higher.
With the benefit of grapevine knowledge, what the government does, to ‘win’ elections, the sort of crooks and thugs, its political gladiators mix with, the sort of bogus criminalities that ensue, on a politicians’ road to success, in Ondo state, it is only predictable that this has just begun.
It will be interesting to see how the government handles this whilst scary, this experience must be with the families of the victim.
In-security, just took a new dimension in Ondo state…
