The son of Gov. Al-makura of Nasarawa State is on it again, as he knocked down about six persons with a car in Mararaba Ankunza area of Lafia, Tribune reports.

Khalid, who is said to be a habitual hit and run driver, was said to be coming from a club in Lancika hotel and was drunk.

As a result of over speeding, he crashed into six persons which led to the amputation of the legs and hands of three of the victims who are all receiving treatment in Chida Crescent Hospital, Abuja.

The traditional chief of the area, Ibrahim Mohammed, who confirmed the accident, said there was no record of death.

“Some youths wanted to kill Khalid, but I insisted and asked the vigilante guards to take him away, which they did before they later hand him over to the Police,” he added.

TribuneOnline gathered that before the latest accident, Khalid’s recklessness had led to the death of about four people in the last three years, on different occasions.

For instance, in March 2017, he killed a JSS 2 student of Science Secondary School, Lafia, when he drove and ran into the school gate on high speed.

Though he was arrested and arraigned before a Magistrate court, he was later released and allowed to go about his normal life.

“I have said it before, there are two devils left behind when the British left Nigeria. The first was tribalism. They planted it as a devil and the second is Religious bigotry. What has these issues got to do with managing people.

“Nobody selected himself that I want to be Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa man. No. You just popped out and whether you are a Muslim or Christian is irrelevant.

“In all religions that I know, you are told to love your Neighbor as yourself. What you will not accept, don’t do it to another neighbor because if you pack up and die, that’s the end. Let us have an impact of governance.” -Chief Bode George On AriseTV News

The Presidential Candidate of our Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi has demanded from the Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy to the President, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the retraction of his wild allegation, linking him as behind the planned mass protest being planned for August.

Obi, writing through his counsel, Chief Alex Ejesieme, SAN of the MADIBA Chambers, said that the allegation which was widely published in social and mainstream media and read by many within and outside the country maligned his hard-earned reputation as a man who indulges in violence when all his antecedents are vivid that he abhors violence even in the face of extreme provocation.

“It’s our client’s conviction that the publication was a calculated plot to demean, ridicule, humiliate and embarrass him by the estimation of every right thinking member of the society”

“They said there is a judgment of the Supreme Court on local government autonomy. I think it is just a distraction. We must face the real issue that we have.

“The issue that we have is that we are not producing enough. We are not productive. Maybe it may be part of the problem, we want to have value for what is being shared but our problem is productivity.

“How much are those LGAs generating within their domains? Can they survive without handouts from Abuja? Handouts from Abuja, is that the way to go? Is it sustainable?” -Governor Seyi Makinde, Oyo At Audience With NUJ
