Going by the recent statement credited to the Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on media and publicity, Reuben Abati, in which he distanced the President from the Thursday fracas at the national assembly where lawmakers were tear gassed by the police, its seems that the Inspector-General of Police may be the scapegoat!
Abati said, “The matter is being investigated; we should await the outcome of the investigations and so I urge that we should all refrain from saying anything that may be prejudicial, partisan or uninformed as some people are already doing, which may then turn out to be incorrect. But I can tell you that President Jonathan did not authorise any form of assault on the National Assembly. He did not. He has no hand in it. The police authorities themselves have said that they acted on their own, based on information that some thugs were planning to cause mayhem and compromise the safety of lawmakers”.
