An Abuja-based businessman, Mr. Mubarak Musa, the Chairman, Al-Mubee Group, has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, as well as the Department of State Service (DSS) over alleged threat to his life and his family.
Musa alleged that a businessman had, on two occasions, stormed his construction site in Abuja; physically assaulted him, destroyed his properties and made threats to his life.
In a series of petitions addressed to the Office of the AGF and the IGP, Musa claimed that the said businessman had not only intimidated him, but went a step further to assault him physically, after which he made threats to his life and property. The petitions filed by Mustapha Mahmud Ibrahim Chambers, noted that the said incidents happened on December 1, 2022 and February 4, 2023.
The petition reads, thus: “We are solicitors of Musa, whom we represent and hereby write to your good office for your kind intervention. Our client is a law-abiding citizen who is into real estate management here in Abuja. Our client and his attacker had been good friends for a while until the fateful day, when the businessman stormed our client’s site, located at Emperor City and Almubee Estate in Wuye District of the Federal Capital Territory Area of Abuja with hoodlums in their numbers.
“To my greatest surprise, the man came down from his vehicle; came directly to me and started chanting all sorts of words and before I could realise what was going on, he slapped me and started punching me on my face together with his boys.
“In fact, they chased those who wanted to come to my aid away. I was humiliated in front of the public mercilessly for a reason I didn’t know. Afterward, he returned to his vehicle and told me to watch out what would happen to me within 24 hours. He then said to me, “I will kill you”. I immediately reported the matter to the police at Wuye Division for action.
“After assaulting me, he left with a serious warning that he would come back to finish what he had started, threatening that I should either leave Abuja or he would wipe my family entirely from the face of the earth.
Yola Mustapha Hashim,
“Sir, I don’t want to take this threat with laxity because of what my eyes saw today, therefore, I am pleading to the Inspector General of Police to kindly order the arrest of the man with his criminal gang, to ascertain what is really happening and to ensure the safety of my life and that of my family.”
In another petition to the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, he said the man allegedly made a return, but this time to his site in Wuye, Abuja, with three vehicles loaded with armed thugs and started destroying properties. He has, therefore, requested for police protection, as his company’s services require that they move from one place to another.
Meanwhile, in a letter of invitation by the IG Intelligence Response Team (IRT) and signed by the Commander, CP Tunji Disu, then a DCP, dated December 5, 2022, which was sighted by this paper, the assailant was invited to come in for an interview.
