Governor Zulum’s Son Reportedly Kills Chinese National During Fight Over Woman At Nightclub

Umar Zulum Umara, son of Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State has been reportedly arrested for killing a Chinese national during a fight over a woman at a nightclub in India.

Umara, a student at a university in New Delhi, reportedly smashed a bottle of alcoholic drink on the Chinese man who showed interest in the same lady as the governor’s son.

According to SaharaReporters (not ABN TV), the incident happened two weeks ago, while Governor Zulum alongside the governors of Adamawa and Yobe states were in Pakistan, attending a post insurgency workshop.

A source close to the family said that it was history repeating itself, as according to him, the governor had while at the same age as his son hit a man to death during a fight.

The source who spoke on condition of anonymity further disclosed that the reckless lifestyle of the members of the governor’s family is in public domain in Borno State.

“Make no mistake, Governor Zulum’s son is the Nigerian governor’s son you heard about who killed someone in India.

“What happened was that the boy engaged a Chinese national in a fight over a lady at a night club in India and Zulum’s son smashed a bottle on his head and it led to his death.

“He was arrested by the police. This happened at a time the governor alongside Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa and Governor Mai Buni of Yobe were in Pakistan some two weeks ago.

“Zulum was billed to travel to the United States after the Pakistani engagement, but he abruptly abandoned the trip and flew to India after receiving news of the tragic incident.

“There in India, he made frantic efforts to resolve the matter with the Chinese parents of the deceased person; they actually obliged him but the Indian authorities insisted that the murder was a crime against the Indian State and not the deceased or even his parents.

“He returned home to Nigeria to garner support and was able to enlist the current agriculture minister, Abubakar Kyari; together, they tried to convince the Indian embassy to wade into the matter but to no avail.

“Based on the information available to us, his son is currently in detention and would be prosecuted in due course.

“The intriguing part of the story is that history has just repeated itself. Yes! Because Governor Zulum had a similar experience as a young lad, when he was about the same age as his son.

“Don’t also forget, just a few months before the tragic incident, the same biy was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission operatives at the Maiduguri International Airport with excess hard currency.”

“But the matter was later watered down, with claims that he was contracted to supply vehicles,” the source added.
