These are not the
best of times for the family of Governor Al Makura as one of the sons of the
1st Lady of Nasarawa State, is said to have been arrested and detained in a
Malaysia prison for possession of hard drugs and gun running.
It was gathered from sources that he was picked up by the Malaysian no-nonsense
security personnel following a tip off.
Information
recently made available to 247ureports.com through sources conversant with the
goings on in the government house of Nasarawa State, reveal that the son,
identified as Kali Umar, who is the son of the first Lady, Hajiya Salamatu Al
Makura – used to be a student at the Nasarawa State University in Keffi where
he majored in Social Sciences. During his second year at the Nasarawa State
University, Keffi, his father, the governor of Nasarawa State, sought admission
for him at a school in Malaysia – and flew Kali Umar to Malaysia to further his
studies.
The governor’s son
was reported to have been arrested in the last week of June 2012 – resulting in
his father cutting short a USA official trip to branch to Malaysia to attend to
the case. It is uncertain to what extent the father was able to dilute the case
but credible sources indicate the son is still be held in detention in Malaysia.
In talking with the
Special Assistant on Public Affairs to the governor, Abdulhamid Kwara, on
Friday July 6, 2012, he declined to comment – stating that “the matter was
family affair”. Other members of the Al Makura administration contact remained
tight lipped on the matter. The Governor’s Chief Press Secretary pleaded to be
left out of the matter.
