Armed Robbers Invade Aso Rock Nigeria
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on May 10, 2021, 7:51 PM
My wife Ifeoma is always on Nollywood websites watching Nigerian movies. I must confess that I am not a fan. Why? I think some of the scenes are too un-real! Yes, he left his house poor, went to the beach and picked a floating bag only to discover a lost code to challenge Senator Bola Tinubu who inherited Lagos from Lord Lugard!
But I think I may be missing something because Aso Rock just played what I would not have believed had any producer put it in a movie. Yes, armed robbers have invaded Aso Rock, the expectedly most secure place in Nigeria! The Chief of Staff to the President lives on the street next to the Villa where the President lives.
How did they get in? I have been to the villa many times - the security is legendary. What has changed, Nigeria?
