On 23th June 2025, around 7.30 pm to 8.00pm, an SUV belonging to Shehu Musa Gabam, the current SDP National Chairman tried to beat red traffic light at a very dangerous speed and rammed into a Toyota Corolla at cross junction along Ahmadu Bello Way (by Turkish International School Abuja ). The vehicle was damaged beyond repairs but the young man who was a relative of mine Abdul-Shakur Abdullahi Sambo escaped unhurt. The incidence was witnessed by police offices stationed at the junction.
The accident was a clear case of VIP reckless abuse of traffic regulations. No one is allowed by law to beat traffic light. More worrisome was the fact that the official vehicle of a whole SDP chairman does not have proper comprehensive insurance that would have taken care of the damage. The chairman himself is unable to save himself the embarrassment of police hearing and sit with the owner of the vehicle and discuss possible compensation of N18m which is the cost of the 2017 Toyota Corolla. It is quite demeaning to his status to allow this matter to escalate to court.
The two damaged vehicles have been evacuated to Maitama Police Station Nile Street.
Police has the power of mediation to settle the two parties without resorting to legal proceeding. But if Mr Shehu Gabam continues to remain obstinate and disagreeable,the only option left to the victim is court action.
I just hope police will do the needful on the case…Aliyu Nuhu on fb
