The Spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Professor Ango Abdullahi, was Wednesday shot by some soldiers in Bauchi on his way to Gadau.<\/p>\n
Vanguard gathered that the former Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, attacked his car as soldiers shot at the car as his driver overtook a military convoy.
\nNarrating what happened to newsmen in Bauchi yesterday, Professor Abdullahi said he was on his way for an official\u00a0assignment at Bauchi State University, Gadau, where he is the chairman of the university\u2019s governing council.
\n\u201cIt was in the morning as I was travelling in my official car with my driver. I was going to Gadau for a meeting. We had just passed the Awala Hotel roundabout when I saw a military convoy moving very slowly.
\n\u201cI was trying to catch up for the meeting, so my driver overtook the military convoy. The next thing I knew they opened fire at us, with bullets were sprayed on the car.
\n\u201cThe bullets damaged the engine of the car, damaged the car that we had to park by the road side. The soldiers came out and were shouting angrily at us.
\n\u201cThey were demanding to know why we wanted to overtake them, asking if we didn\u2019t know that the soldiers were exporting sensitive materials,\u201d he said.
\nAccording to him, \u201cthey just left us there and continued their movement. I have never seen such a reckless act.
\n\u201cI called the Commissioner for Higher Education and told him. The Commissioner for Higher Education called the security agencies chiefs to inform them of what happened.\u201d
