Decorum was thrown to the wind last Friday in Lagos when a state
Commissioner showed a snippet of how dirty and rough he could be when he
is angry.
It was a show of shame when the Lagos State Commissioner for Local
Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Ademorin Aliu Kuye, beat up a fellow
party member during a political meeting in the city.
Information gathered by our reporter revealed that Kuye allegedly
pounced on one Honourable Olugbenga Hakeem Abdullahi, also known as Naa
Gbenga, and landed some heavy punches on the face, which disfigured the
man’s face, just as one of the Klitschko brothers did to Samuel Peters
few years ago when he(Peters) dared to challenge him.
Abdullahi received the beating of his life when he dared to question
Kuye’s motion for the imposition of candidates on the party instead of
going through the due process of screening.
MORE AFTER THE CUT......................................
The ugly incident occurred at the Somolu Local Government Banquet
Hall, and was attended by several leaders of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, such as Senator Anthony Adefuye, who watched the ‘free
show’ in surprise.
The party had gathered for the ward congress, which also held across the country last weekend.
Abdullahi, who was sitting close to Kuye, had attempted to caution
him on the implication of his motion on the party, when he (Kuye) turned
to him and landed him a couple of blows on his bespectacled face.
Abdullahi, 57, who was totally taken aware by the attack, was said to
have fallen flat on his back. In the ensuing melee, some of Kuye’s
thugs, who were lurking around, stormed the meeting venue and dealt
Abdullahi more blows.
Some of Kuye’s thugs who stormed the venue were identified as Yesuru
and Benson. Yesuru is described as a very notorious thug, and was
recently declared wanted by the police in Somolu.
Interestingly, Kuye, who flaunts a Post-Grduate Diploma in Theology
from the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, is described as a very
violent politician. Four years ago, he was alleged to have beaten a
former party colleague, the late Tunde Babalola into a state of coma.
Also, several cases of Kuye invading political meetings with his thugs abound within his Constituency.
Meanwhile, Kuye’s victim, Abdullahi, who is nursing a swollen face
and some cuts on his face, has vowed to seek for justice. In his quest
to see that Kuye is brought to book, Abdullahi, together with some party
leaders in Somolu, had reported the assault to Alade Police Station,
Somolu.
Also, the aggrieved politician has also filed a petition to the Panti
Police Station and plans to send the petition to the Lagos State
Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and other APC
leaders.
