0

Drama as a man suspected to be thief outsmarted some bribe-taking policemen and went away with all the money the policemen have collected.

It was learnt that the man snatched a bag containing all the bribes the officers had collected and ran away.

According to report, the incident happened near Kathegeri shopping centre on the Nairobi-Meru highway, Kenya.

The alleged thief reportedly appeared from the bushes then he grabbed the heap of cash that these policemen were counting before he vanished.

An eye witness gave an account saying there were two officers of the opposite gender on the spot when the “robbery” occurred in broad daylight.

The witness said; “There are these steep roads that connect to the road, and the spot where the officers were based is shaped like a wedge. That is the road the young man used to escape. On realizing he could not catch the young man, the officer shouted at him many times. But there is little he could do as the man vanished into the bushes.”

The witness further added that one male police officer attempted to pursue the thief, however, his efforts were in vain as he couldn’t get hold of him.

Prior to the incident, the officers had reportedly stopped at least four vehicles for inspection with other officers who had gathered the cash at a central point for sharing at the end of the day’s operation when the thief outsmarted them.

A socio-cultural organisation, Miyetti Allah Kautel Horeh, has revealed that its group is ready to set up its own security operation in the country.

The group noted that if that happens, no one can control it because it will be everywhere.

Speaking through its National President, Abdullahi Bodejo , in an interview with the Sun, the organization also declared that Nigeria’s breakup won’t affect the Fulani in any way.

Bodejo said he is so afraid the way regions are coming up with illegal security outfits, “One group calls its own, Amotekun; another group calls its own Shege ka fasa”, declaring that he does not support anything illegal.

The Fulani leader pointed out that it would be a disaster for the country if all the groups are allowed to form their own security.

He explained that the Fulani are in every corner, “if the Fulani should set up its own, how many countries will that be; how many countries do they not have brothers- Our brothers are in Cameroun, Niger, Chad, Mali etc. Some migrated to Ghana to rear their cows and other parts of the world.”

He said his organization is looking at the response of the government and security agencies to the formation of these ”illegal security outfits, “because if it comes to our side. I don’t think it is something that anybody can control.”

“If we are pushed to set up our own security outfit, nobody can control it because nobody knows how many Fulani in Nigeria; we are more than every tribe in this country, we are in every corner,” Bodejo warned.

“If anything happens to this country whether break up, nothing can affect the Fulani. Nothing can affect the Fulani,” he added.

He said, however, that Fulani is blessed people who are managing themselves, but are hated by Nigerians “who do not want to take their eyes off them.”
