Soldiers Punish Local Government Chairman In Borno

The caretaker chairman of Hawul Local Government Area, Daniel Malang, was punished by members of the Joint Task Force for allegedly breaking checkpoint regulations and talking rudely to soldiers.

Mr. Malang, who reportedly has a reputation for breaking traffic rules, ran out of luck when he attempted to shunt his way through a long line of vehicles along Maiduguri-Biu road.

The chairman was heard telling the soldiers:  “don’t you know me? I am the executive chairman of Hawul local government.”

A soldier, unimpressed with Mr. Malang’s statement responded by saying “does this place resemble Hawul local government; even if na Hawul be this, does that give you the license to break my order by not following the queue?”

The soldier ordered the council boss to park his Peugeot 406 car and asked him  and his driver to  frog-jump while other motorists looked on.

The soldiers kept the chairman there for hours before he was freed with a stern warning not to repeat such act again.
