See Politician Who Vandalises Pipeline to Raise Funds For 2015 Election
After all, one of Machiavelli’s principle states that the end justifies the means, maybe that’s why this so-called politician has been vandalising oil pipe lines to raise money for election campaign;
Operatives of the Inspector General of Police Task Force on Anti-Pipeline Vandalism have arrested a self-confessed politician, Wahab Junaid, for vandalising a Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation pipeline in the Obafemi/ Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, Punch reports.
59year old Junaid, aka Doctor, who is one of the unit’s most wanted pipeline vandals had allegedly been arrested and arraigned three times, but was discharged and acquitted.
“After I regained my freedom in 2012, I stopped anything that has to do with pipeline vandalism.
“I am an active member of a political party in this state (Lagos). So, when the slot for the House of Representatives was zoned to my area, my people nominated me to represent them. Since I know that I had a good chance of winning the election, I accepted. I was told to go and look for money to sponsor my campaigns.
“In the course of looking for funds, a friend of mine, Oloje, who is also a vandal, informed me that the area was calm, and that I could come and lift some fuel and get money for my political ambition.
“I was waiting with my tankers to lift the product when policemen arrested me. My enemies, who are bitter that I was anointed for the political position, betrayed me. Please forgive me and give me another chance. I am sorry and I promise that as soon as I am elected, I will assist the police in the war against pipeline vandalism.”
