According
to Punch Newspaper of December of December 26, gunmen on December 24,2017
raided the Kaduna residence of Abdulrasheed Maina, the former chairman of the
presidential task team on Pension Reforms. The report was that most of the
gunmen came in military uniform while others were in mufti and that they came
in search of cash and ammunition. From the report, the security in Maina’s
house said that after raiding the house and finding nothing, they handcuffed
him, took him away and dumped him in the bush close to Kaduna International
Airport.
Based
on this report, it is very clear from their mode of operation that something is
not right because due process is lacking. We are Nigerians anyway and we must
have been following Maina’s case and how the government has been handling the
situation. What do we expect in a country where a wanted criminal who made away
with pensioner’s fund that is in his custody and reappeared after a long time like
a king only to be appointed to handle a sensitive office?
We
are not encouraging people to take laws into their hands and therefore, do not
support the move taken by those gunmen; that is if they are not sent by the
authorities, which is likely the case, but we are simply stating the fact that
in a country where people are aggrieved and evil is been pampered at their
expense, the authorities should expect nothing but planned attacks.
