Senator Nuhu Aliyu-Chickens Out!

It is a shame that a man of Nuhu's status, a senator of the Federal Rebulic and a retired DIG of police could allow fear or favor make him condescend so low.

Nigerians were taken aback by his allegation that some senators in the house were people who in the past have been involved in advance fee fraud but today that he sees same people in the senate with him. He even said some of them were his prisoners.

As expected this act was commended by the senate President who called him a courageous Nigerian. Within just about 24 hours the same man was seen denouncing his statement.

I do not want to believe it was out of fear for what might become of him following this allegation.
But i expected a man of position, a senator, and former DIG of police to know that a man is not a convict until sentenced by a competent court of law. Just because someone slept a few nights in a cell dose not make him a convict as the constitution only forbids ex-convicts from contesting election. This assertion is presumptuous following his claims that his lawyers advised him to withdraw his statement.

Dose this mean that a DIG of police dose not understand this simple constitutional provision? Is this how he was condemning Nigerians while still in the Police?
For this to be coming from a DIG, it can only tell us the kind of law the police in this country are reeling out to Nigerians. Jungle justice that lacks due diligence. Nuhu Aliyu has just shown us how incompetent he was as a police man.
