Accident

LEADERSHIP gathered that the fatal accident happened at an intersection close to the CG’s official residence, along Asokoro district extension.

An eyewitness told LEADERSHIP that the deceased officer attempted a stunt near a major intersection before the CG’s residence, just after attempting a U-turn to the rest of the convoy but missed the brakes and ran into a concrete culvert while on high speed.

Dickson, an Enugu State-born officer, reportedly lost his mother six months ago and was just recovering from the pains of her demise when he also died on Tuesday.

LEADERSHIP

Mr Dickson never knew stunt is the fastest way to ancestors in the other side of the world

A case of you want to please others and displease yourself.

Rip to him

His replacement will report for duty first thing tomorrow morning.

Nigeria is not worth dying for. I just dey always look all these overzealous security men doing eye service to impress their oga. Those bosses don’t care, all they are after is money too steal.

Bad for him. Him wan show himself.

His date of burial will be officially made known by the Oga at the top.

Buhari effect

So unprofessional of him. You don't perform stunts during offical engagements. His job was to clear the road for the CG and not to entertain the crowd. Rest in peace.

Na wa o


One spanner lost

Now performing Stunts to entertain his Ancestors on the other side.

RIP to the Dead

RIP man.

Rip.

He is part of the oppressed oppressing the oppressed.

Haaa

Very foolish

When Buhari pikin had bike accident he was flown to and he survived.

This poor has no one to give him the best care.

The truth is politicians do not care about the ordinary man and people should know this and know peace.

Biker life requires great care in spite of great speed

See what overzealousness has caused

RIP man.

Its well. Rest well. You died doing what you love

From parachute to biker

May His soul rest in peace

Stupid country. Everything about this country is so asinine. I see how these outriders risk their lives for show for these VIPs and their fooolish ogas or even the lawmakers do nothing about it.

Sad.

The rigors of the job. Sad

VeryWickedGoat:
