The son of the Shehu of Borno,
Kashim Abubakar- Elkanemi, knocked down an officer of Nigerian Security and
Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) at a car race in Maiduguri, Borno State.
The wounded officer, Mr Usman
Bakari, is the NSCDC Divisional Officer in charge of the Maiduguri metropolitan
council.
PRNigeria said it obtained the
disturbing footage on Tuesday.
A suspect associated with the
incident was arrested by the NSCDC Borno command, while the son of Elkanemi
fled the scene.
The incident occurred on November
16, at about 5:30 pm at the Ramat Square Maiduguri, when some children of Borno
prominent personalities pulled a street racing stunt with dozens of expensive
cars under a group known as “Yarwa Squad.”
An eyewitness said the officer
was crushed by the Shehu’s son for asking them to stop the race in order to
prevent an accident.
“Bakari came to beg us to stop
the stunts but some youths started insulting him and calling him names. Some of
the youths were saying that Maiduguri belongs to them and they have the right
to do whatever they want.
“In fact, some of the youth were
saying ‘who are you (NSCDC officer) to stop the Son of the Shehu from doing
whatever he wants to do. This is his father’s land.’
“While the argument was going on,
two vehicles sped towards the officer in an attempt to hit him, but the officer
narrowly escaped.
“However, the Shehu’s Son made
another turn with the vehicle and in top speed, he knocked down the security
officer while other personnel narrowly escaped the attack..”
The video shows the officer being
hit by a sky-blue Peugeot 406 with flew him in the air before landing on the
ground, just as the vehicle fled the scene immediately afterwards.
The affected officer who was left
in his pool of blood with various degrees of injuries was taken to the
Maiduguri Specialist Hospital for treatment.
