Umar Zulum Umara, the son of The Governor of Borno State Babagana Umara Zulum has been arrested for killing a Chinese man during a fight over a woman at a nightclub in India.
Umara, a student at a university in New Delhi, India reportedly smashed a bottle of alcoholic drink on the Chinese man who showed interest in the same lady as the governor’s son.
According to SaharaReporters, the incident happened two weeks ago, while Governor Zulum, alongside the governors of Adamawa and Yobe states, was in Pakistan attending a post-insurgency workshop. A source close to the family told SaharaReporters that it was history repeating itself, as the governor had, at the same age as his son, fatally injured a man during a fight.
The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, further disclosed that the reckless lifestyle of the governor’s family members is well-known in Borno State.
“Make no mistake, Governor Zulum’s son is the Nigerian governor’s son you heard about who killed someone in India. “What happened was that the boy engaged a Chinese national in a fight over a lady at a nightclub in India, and Zulum’s son smashed a bottle on his head, leading to his death.
“He was arrested by the police. This happened at a time when the governor, alongside Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa and Governor Mai Buni of Yobe, was in Pakistan some two weeks ago. “Zulum was scheduled to travel to the United States after the Pakistani engagement, but he abruptly abandoned the trip and flew to India after receiving news of the tragic incident.
“There in India, he made frantic efforts to resolve the matter with the Chinese parents of the deceased; they obliged him, but the Indian authorities insisted that the murder was a crime against the Indian state and not the deceased or even his parents.
“He returned home to Nigeria to garner support and enlisted the current agriculture minister, Abubakar Kyari; together, they tried to convince the Indian embassy to intervene, but to no avail.
“Based on the information available to us, his son is currently in detention and will be prosecuted in due course. “The intriguing part of the story is that history has just repeated itself. Yes! Because Governor Zulum had a similar experience as a young lad, when he was about the same age as his son.
“Don’t also forget, just a few months before the tragic incident, the same boy was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission operatives at the Maiduguri International Airport with excess hard currency.
“But the matter was later watered down, with claims that he was contracted to supply vehicles,” the source added.
When newsmen contacted one of Zulum’s media aides, he simply replied, “I don’t know about this matter, but when I get any information about it, I will relay the same to you. However, don’t quote me, please!”
Meanwhile, The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has denied any affiliation with a ”fraudulent” website shared by the Nigerian Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, purportedly for the verification of visa applications by Nigerians.
