LAFIA – Some hoodlums suspected to be aides attached to Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa state have refused to honour invitation extended to them by the Department of State Service, DSS, in Lafia for interrogation.
The aides identified as Darda’u and Baban Laria a.k.a Master, were invited by the DSS, in connection to an attack carried out on the correspondent of Blueprint Newspapers in the state, Mohammed Yangida.
But, rather than honouring the invitation by DSS, they were represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Mohammed Hassan Abdullahi.
But, Yangida, insisted that “he two persons must be brought to book to serve as lesson to others”.
He explained that after the attack, he immediately rushed to the DSS office where he wrote a formal complaint on “Threat to Life”.
Yangida said further that the attack followed a story he published on November 21, 2017, regarding planned protest by youths over Buhari 2019 political activities in the state.
The journalist has therefore, called on the Inspector-General of Police Ibrahim Idiris, DSS Boss, Lawal Daura, National Security Adviser, professional colleagues, human rights commission and public complaints commission to intervene and make sure that these people are brought to book to allow peace to reign in Nasarawa state.
