FCT Minister
An unidentified person shot at the private home of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, Dr Aliyu Modibbo, in Abuja last Tuesday, the Police have said.

 

Speaking to newsmen in Abuja yesterday, the FCT Police Commissioner, Mr. John Haruna, said the incident occurred around 9pm on Tuesday, April 29 at the minister’s residence located at No. 5, Obosi Street, Garki 2.

He said an unknown person fired from a long distance into the residence, adding that the police recovered a high caliber bullet which had pierced the roof of a section in the house.

The Police Commissioner said no one was injured from the incident.

The Police Commissioner said upon receiving the information, he and his colleagues visited the scene of the incident, while the Inspector General of Police visited the house the following day.

He said no arrest has been made so far, adding that the Police have commissioned a high powered team to investigate the shooting.

When contacted through the telephone, a close aide to Modibbo declined to comment.

Power is intoxicants!
Ojo, You tried your best on legal issues , people became intoxicated when they drunk the Champaign ( Beer)of power.People with national repute were insulted and abuse publickly by saint El Rufa`i without thinking the out come. Un fortunately he is no more a saint and he will continue to regrets the torments of his stewardship done in OBJ tenure to eternity.

Thank God............
for whom NOTHING is impossible. This is a sign that you are doing the right thing and somebody or some people somewhere are just not happy. I thank GOD for sparing you and members of your household, may HE continue to protect you from disgruntled elements who would rather turn truth on its head. Continue doing that which is right, just and proper in the eyes of GOD

WAKE UP FCT ADMINISTRATION
It is very unfortunate that in a city like Abuja with all the noise on security paraphinalia of the governemnt,this thing happens.I am very sad because the government is not doing enough to protect the common man. The is has shown that the mighty can fall someday after all.It is a strong sign that the governemnt should wake up from sleep and carry out its responsibilities.

A bit of clue / and they will fail
Keep up with your job Modibbo dont let those criminals distract you from the good job your rendering to your father land. 
My clue to this development is this,Modibbo since your house was shot at for me the person that did that wants to traten you so that you and the committe will stop the probe going on,but dont let them . 
 
Note: the person that shot at your private home can be apprehended ? Just instore 24h recording camera in your resident.this camera will pick any person that work pass your house or drive pass your house not only that, you can as well zoom in or out to get the clear picture of the person that did the shoting or even the registration number of the car that was used in the shoting.These is why technology is good,with this tech you can monitor any thing find out who did it and go for the person cos this is real prove ,real evidence.I Can store this for you free of charge if you buy them and explain to you how they work,just to make sure that this kind of thing does not happen to people like you that want nigeria to be a better place to live .God will always protect u and your family.
