How Governor Lamido Attacked Police DPO for Disturbing Them


But for the timely intervention of other governors present, some plain clothes security personnel working for a presidential hopeful and Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, would have beaten up the DPO of Asokoro Police station mercilessly for disturbing their meeting.

The DPO, Nnanna Ama, led a detachment of policemen in three trucks to Kano State Governor’s Lodge to interfere and disrupt the meeting of the G-7 governors. Below is what transpired...

In a video released on Monday, Governor Lamido was seen shouting at the top of his voice when Ama, who was putting on an orange T-shirt, walked into the meeting.

The DPO asked to see the host, Kano State governor, but Governor Lamido, who was sitting on a sofa, hit the table intermittently and yelled at Mr Ama, saying, “The governor (Kwankwaso) is here. Talk to him. What do you want from him? We are meeting alright. So, talk to him.”

At a point, Governor Lamido, who was visibly infuriated by the action of the Police, stood up and ordered his security aides who were in suit to push the DPO out of the meeting venue.

“Push them (DPO and his men) out,” Lamido yelled.

One of the security aide wanted to take action after Governor Lamido gave the order, he looked at the DPO eye-ball to-eyeball and asked, “What do you want?”

The DPO became scared at this point and simply said: “I have told you before.”

The scuffle was prevented as DPO Ama, who started treading cautiously, moved back without challenging the duo. But Governor Lamido continued and shouted again, “Get out. Who the hell is he?”

The DPO later left after it was obvious to him that he can't arrest the governors.
