Imagine waking up on a fine morning to find your neighbourhood under siege. Heavily armed security officials have barricaded all entries and exits.

You would certainly be livid by the brazen incivility, especially to know that the siege is a street-party of some sort. And if you are highly connected and freely throw weight around, you may put a call through to the governor or his Commissioner of Police to report the imbeciles – for immediate arrest and prosecution.

It was not the first time an entire corridor had been shut down in an emergency or for easy passage of a high profile personality. In a volatile country like ours where almost anything could happen in daylight, it is oddly familiar to have an entire State on lockdown for visiting president. Frequent air travellers and airlines are used to that misfortune. Each presidential air movement readily grounds all others for security reasons.

For a fact, IGP and his entourage didn’t arrive at the Renaissance Hotel venue of the conference past 10 a.m. – more than two hours after the GRA had been shut down. It suggests that the IGP had not even left Abuja, nor had his shower when the commercial hub was put under siege. His value-added to the event and policing in the country was also a suspect. The IGP merely declared the conference open.
