“We heard shots around 1:00 am and all of us ran in different directions. I ran to a nearby bush and hid until they left before I came out.

Mallam Abba Kyari the present Chief Of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, on 23rd December 2009, in his article titled, A Personal Loss, on The Guardian, also wrote: “We first met in 1971 and through him some other members of the intellectual elite of his generation. A group, in saner societies, that would have been the nucleus of the best and the brightest. They embodied the value of public service as a call to duty. They were the younger elements of the Premier’s office crowd. I have maintained an enduring, affectionate and honourable association with some of them.
