Victim of DSS personnel shooting gets automatic appointment
By Ben Ngwakwe, Gombe
The victim of DSS personnel shooting, who coincidentally is an APC supporter has got automatic appointment from Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya.
The alleged accidental discharge involving Department of State Security (DSS), where a 22-year old in Bojude in Kwami local government area shot would have truncated the peaceful political rally before the Governor was able to dust the crisis by appointing the victim Personal Assistant and to shoulder the hospital bill of the supporter.
Meanwhile, the victim of the alleged accidental discharge had joined hundreds of villagers who trooped out to receive the campaign train of the governor in his area.
According to eyewitness, the boy on seeing the convoy of the governor joined his friends and other All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters in jubilation unknowing that he was beside a DSS personnel whose carelessness would have cost him his leg.
PERISCOPE NIGERIA gathered that the DSS personnel’s gun went off and hit the man in the leg.
The victim fell down, writhing in pains and accompanied blood.
This however elucidated anger from the youths who shouted: “bamayi, bamayi” (we don’t like.)
It took the joint efforts of the governor’s Aide de Camp (ADC) and the Chief Security Officer Government House to calm the rampaging youths.
He also directed that the poor victim be taken to the hospital on the bill of the state government.
Also, he sent powerful emissary to the family of the man whom he gave automatic appointment as Personal Assistant (P.A.)
He also offered same appointment to four other youths to pacify the locals.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members were later received into the APC fold by the governor.
