The Inspector-General of Police, Mr.
Muhammed Abubakar, on Wednesday
'arrested' the Minister of State, Education,
Chief Nyesom Wike, right inside the Council
Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja
shortly before the commencement of the
weekly Federal Executive Council meeting.
The 'arrest' of the minister, whom a fellow cabinet
member was overheard hailing as 'Wicked Wike'
recently, had nothing to do with the tug of war
between him and his state governor, Rotimi
Amaechi. It was just one of the big men's banters
that always precede such meetings.
Abubakar had arrived the venue ahead of Wike to
witness the swearing in of the chairman and
members of the re-constituted Police Service
Commission.
He apparently had an unfinished business with
the minister. Immediately Wike arrived, he
grabbed the police boss from behind. As he
turned to see the person that had the effrontery
to hold his uniform which is always adorned with
many medals in that manner, the IGP declared,
"You are under arrest!" Pronto, the minister
stretched his two hands towards the police boss
and said, "Handcuff me."
He held Wike and dragged him into the
chamber's tea room where he was "interrogated."
The duo returned to the chambers a few minutes
after, laughing. The minister must have been
granted bail on self recognition!
