Niger State Governor, Mohammed Bago, has come under attack for ordering his security aides to slap one of the Islamic clerics at a gathering.
Bago, in a video seen by Sunday PUNCH, ordered his aide to ‘slap’ the cleric.
“Slap him, very well. I said slap him. Go and arrest him. Deal with him well-well”, the governor ordered.
He thereafter uttered a Hausa idiomatic expression which was interpreted as “I have power.”
The cleric, who knelt down, was dragged away from the gathering by one of the security operatives suspected to be an officer of the Department of State Services.
Some of the people at the gathering were laughing and giggling when the governor gave the order.
The offence committed by the cleric was not known, but sources said he wanted to give the closing prayer at the event which the governor opposed.
Reacting on social media on Saturday, many Nigerians described the governor’s action as an abuse of power.
