Nigeria is such an amazing nation that whenever the politicians want to achieve their ambition their will be drama upon drama, A mild drama ensued in Kaduna on Monday
after soldiers stopped the motorcade of the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, and searched his official car.
Findings showed that Tambuwal, who was in
the flagged car on his way to the venue of an international conference
on security, was asked to wind down his window glass to the surprise of
other VIPs, who drove past the same route.
This made the security details attached
to Tambuwal to protest but the soldiers stood their ground. Some of
the soldiers were said to have insisted that they were acting on “orders
from above.”
Angered by the development, Tambuwal came out of the car and trekked to the venue, a few metres away.
The incident occurred at the entrance to
Hotel 17, Kaduna, venue of an International Conference on Security and
Development Challenges of Pastoralism in West and Central Africa,
organised by the office of the National Security Adviser.
The theme of the conference was: “The
Role of Pastoralists in Preventing Insurgency and Conflicts for
Sustainable Peace and National Security.”
Tambuwal, who arrived at the venue of the
conference at exactly 9.16am for the 10 am opening ceremony, had his
convoy stopped by soldiers who insisted they must search his official
car before he could be allowed in.
While Tambuwal’s car was searched, other
VIPs, including governors, who attended the conference were allowed into
the hotel without hindrance.
