“Our attention was drawn on a report from some online
publication with a video cliff suggesting Hon Chairman, Justice
Danladi Y. Umar assaulted a Security Guard at Banex
Plaza.”

“To start with, the said plaza has been his usual place of
visits for the past 18 years for shopping and repairs of his
phones, and in all these periods there have never been any time he
had any turmoil with anybody.”

“Unfortunately, yesterday’s altercations started over a
packing lot, which Chairman met vacant and it was directly opposite
a shop he want to make a purchase and to fixe his phone, when the
young Security guard sighted him, he ordered that Chairman should
not pack his car in that particular empty space, but Chairman asked
why, the security guard couldn’t convinced chairman, though
Chairman didn’t identify himself, because to him is needless and is
a place he visited often, but the boy was rode in his approached
and threaten to deal with Chairman if he refuse to leave the
scene.”

“Again, if Chairman had went there to cause trouble or
intimidate some one, as suggested in the report, he would have gone
there in his full official paraphernalia, but he went there alone
with his younger brother.”

“The Police men seen in the video cliff were not the
Chairman’s police team, they were policemen operating around the
plaza whom at first instance intervened before the arrival of
police team from Maitama Police station. As the few policemen in
the complex were apparently overwhelmed by the mobs, consisting of
BIAFRAN boys throwing matches and shape object to his car, which
led to deep cut and dislocation in one of his finger, causing
damage to his car, smashing his windscreen.”

“At a point he attempted to leave the scene, these same
miscreants, BIAFRAN boy ordered for the closure of the gate thereby
assaulting him before the arrival of police team from Maitama
police station.”

“An incident like this when it happened, sympathy usually
goes to the low personalities. Though is unfortunate as I said, it
ought not to have happened.”
