One of the sons Governor Almakura of Nasarawa State is said to have been arrested and detained in a Malaysian prison for possession of hard drugs and guns.
Sources say that he was picked up by the Malaysian no-nonsense security personnel following a tip off.
Information reaching us through sources conversant with the happenings in the government house of Nasarawa State, reveal that the son, identified as Kali Umar, son of the first Lady, Hajiya Salamatu Al Makura – used to be a student at the Nasarawa State University in Keffi where he majored in Social Sciences. In his second year at the Nasarawa State University, Keffi, his father, the governor of Nasarawa State, sought admission for him at a school in Malaysia –and Kali Umar proceeded to Malaysia to further his studies.
The governor’s son was reported to have been arrested in the last week of June 2012 – resulting in his father cutting short a USA official trip to branch to Malaysia to attend to the case. It is uncertain to what extent the father was able to dilute the case but credible sources indicate the son is still in detention in Malaysia.
In talking with the Special Assistant on Public Affairs to the governor, Abdulhamid Kwara, on Friday July 6, 2012, he declined to comment – stating that “the matter was family affair”. Other members of the Al Makura administration contact remained reticent on the matter as well.
What a big disgrace and dent on the image of our dear country,it’s a big shame.
