Personal assistant to Sen. Abdullahi Adamu on new media, Malam Nata’ala Mohammed, has refuted rumors that the man in the widely circulated video of a man being naked at the Lafia Emir’s palace was Adamu.
In a telephone interview on Saturday in Keffi, Mohammed claimed that the people making these accusations were dishonest with themselves and had a cunning nature, adding that “they are only seeking relevance.”
Mohammed said, “A viral video of a man that was stripped naked on Thursday, Dec. 8 at the Emir of Lafia’s palace, which was also insinuated and suspected to be the APC National Chairman is false.
“It was the mere imagination of mischievous people who are unfamiliar with the physical looks of Sen. Abdullahi Adamu.
“This unfortunate misplacement of the true physical look of the person of Adamu, is not in anyway to be linked to him.”
Another pro-democracy organization, A.A. Sule Progressives Forum, has also fiercely condemned the heinous deed that was committed against their Grand Patron, Alhaji Abubakar Giza, who goes by the traditional name Ciroman Giza.
The State Coordinator for the forum, Mr. Jonathan Samuel, called the incident barbarous and deplorable.
He claimed that Giza was a seasoned politician and APC supporter who had consistently supported the Nasarawa State government.
Samuel added that Giza is a man who values peace and exhorts, “According to Samuel, Giza is a peace loving man, urging, and that ”the evil act done to him by some unscrupulous elements should not be played down.
”The perpetrators of such dastardly act should be identified and brought to book to serve as a deterrent to others.”
He emphasized the need for all and sundry to be security conscious at all times, saying, ”these bad eggs are lurking everywhere.”
Samuel also encouraged the security services to step up their efforts to catch the offenders.
