In one story a Pamela Anderson style sex video of one of Kano's top movie stars was making the rounds in the ancient city. In another, the state accused an international drug conglomerate (that makes them sound like a criminal cartel doesn't it?) of illegally testing unapproved drugs on its citizens.
This latest story is just sad. A row has erupted in Kano over the nude picture of a local female politician who was beaten to a pulp by member of the state house of assembly and his 10-man goon squad. The story hit the web about a week ago but the really sad part is that it was fuelled more by the controversy over the good taste (or lack thereof) of the press for releasing a picture (shown below) of the woman that showed "indecent" parts of her battered body than by the actual assault.
Now get this:
- Hajia Habiba Garba, the lady in the picture, was followed around and harassed by youth loyal to one Alhaji Maderi who, sadly, is a member of the Kano House of Reps. His self-confessed reason? For "always going to the radio to castigate him and his associates". Well hello? Apparently this politician has never heard of freedom of speech. What a forward thinker.
- Alhaji Maderi met her at the police station and had the audacity to beat her up there in full view of the cops there. In front of the POLICE.
Amazing! finally a politician stupid enough to do his own dirty work. Oh what a rarity! What a special guy. The arrogant twit should be put on display for other Nigerians to admire his IQ.
One wonders what the guy was thinking:
Maderi - Who does she think she is? Does she know who I am? I'm a member of the PDP. I'm a member of the state House of Reps. Nonsense! Shegiya! My boys will deal with her. Bloody woman.
Silly guy probably went there with a little money to smooth things over with the cops who tried to arrest his goons.
They should lock him up and forget the key. Throw him in the female prison for good measure; I hear they got some baad chicks there.
