‘SAVE MY LIFE’ FROM OLAWALE ABIDEEN: THE NEWLY ELECTED NATIONAL SECRETARY, NGIJ, ABDULRAHMAN ALIAGAN CRIES OUT TO IGP, DG, DSS
The newly elected National Secretary from the just concluded election of the new leadership of the Nigerian Guild of Investigative Journalists, NGIJ, Abdulrahman Aliagan has called on the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mr. adsbygoogle || []).push({}); js">
Mr, Abydeen was the former Acting President of the steering committee of the Guild until his led acting executive was dissolved at the Guild’s Congress conducted via online in June, 2020 owing to the prevalence of COVID-19 and in compliance with lay down protocol by NCDC and PTF on COVID-19.
It becomes necessary for the association to dissociate itself from nefarious activities of Mr. Wale who was using the Guild as his personal property as well as a tool to witch-hunt corporate organizations, particularly, banks for his personal gains.
Wale, a Lagos based journalist, has since been in Abuja acting under the guise of his wife, who is a Police officer in Lagos, making contacts with some Police Officers-SARS, closed to Sharon Ultimate Hotel in Garki Area of Abuja.
Abdulrahman said he got the hint of Mr. Wale’s arrival in Abuja from Lagos through a Lawyer friend that incorporated the Guild. According to the Lawyer, “Wale called me to inform me that he is in Abuja, that he wanted to settle an issue with Abdulrahman and he wanted me to come with him.
“He told me that, he was in a Garden and since I was closed to the garden, I rushed to see him there. Unknown to me, he was in a company of some Policemen about four of them.
“They started interrogating me that, why did I gave the Guild’s Certificate to the Secretary of the Guild and not the President who sent you the money? I told them, that it was Abdulrahman that I know, his name is there as one of the Trustees and all the documents that were used to incorporate the Guild, including your own (Wale) and the remaining members of Trustees, I got them from Abdulrahman. And for close to two years, you did not call me to ask anything about the Certificate why now?” The Lawyer quarried.
The Lawyer added that, “I am aware that you have embarked on some programme together with the same Abdulrahman some of it involves traveling, you as well called me sometimes last year that the Guild wanted to engage me as their Lawyer and that was the last time we spoke and it was over a year, then why are you bringing me to any misunderstanding between you and Abdulrahman now? Why can’t they invite him officially for interrogation? He quarried.
According to Abdulrahman, “the allegedly called SARS have been tracking my conversations and that has made me to switched-off my phone going to four days now.”
He added that, Wale has earlier called members of his family, friends and colleagues that, I sought for his exit as the President of the Guild and promised to deal with decisively.
It becomes more necessary for me to call on the Inspector General of Police, the DG DSS and other security agencies to SAVE MY LIFE and that of MY FAMILY from OLAWALE ABIDEEN popularly called RAYNERS. When a friend of mIne sent me a text message when he could not reach me that one YUSUF OLAYINKA ERUBU alias Bobulux called him to ask for my house number, my street and where I lived in Abuja.
Olayinka who has been known to be Wale’s friend for decades, has also called on one of the NGIJ’s member to harras and called him a betrayer. Aliagan said.
Aliagan stated that all efforts to reach Wale for over three weeks for possible resolutions through friends, colleagues, several calls, texts and WhatsApp messages have been proving abortive.
I therefore called on all authority to save my life and that of my family, from a desperate journalist.

One of his notable achievements is his role as Chairman of the Committee on Flood, where he played a crucial part in managing the 2024 floods in the state. His proactive approach and leadership skills ensured that the state was well-prepared to mitigate the effects of the flood, thereby minimizing the impact on the people and their properties.
Furthermore, Comrade Salifu’s diplomatic prowess was on full display when he successfully brokered an amicable settlement to the boundary dispute between Kogi and Enugu State at Ette in Olamaboro Local Government Area. This landmark achievement is a testament to his ability to navigate complex issues and find mutually beneficial solutions. The resolution of this long-standing dispute has brought relief to the affected communities and has paved the way for increased cooperation and collaboration between the two states.
In addition to his achievements in flood management and conflict resolution, Comrade Salifu has also been representing Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo admirably in various capacities. His representation has been characterized by humility and an open-door policy, which has endeared him to the people. He has been a worthy ambassador of the governor and the state, and his actions have consistently reflected the values of the administration.
Comrade Salifu has also been a gracious host to traditional rulers in the state, fostering a spirit of unity and cooperation among them. His doors have always been open to the monarchs, listening to their concerns and working tirelessly to address them. This gesture has not only strengthened the relationship between the government and traditional institutions but has also promoted peace and stability in the state.
More so, Comrade Salifu’s ability to carry traditional rulers along in the governance of the state has been a hallmark of his administration. He has consistently engaged with traditional rulers, seeking their counsel and input on matters affecting their domains. This collaborative approach has not only earned him the respect and admiration of the traditional rulers but has also ensured that the government’s policies and programs are tailored to meet the unique needs and challenges of each community.
Comrade Salifu’s commitment to the welfare of the people has also been evident in his interactions with labor leaders. He has hailed Governor Ododo as a visionary leader and attributed the harmonious relationship between labor unions and the government to the governor’s exemplary leadership style.
Moreover, Comrade Salifu has been actively representing the governor at key events across the state. For instance, he represented Governor Ododo at the inauguration of the Nyamkpo Community Electrification Project in Bassa local government Area. During the event, he reiterated the administration’s commitment to rapid infrastructural development and emphasized the importance of electricity in driving economic growth and improving the quality of life.
In another show of compassion and commitment to the welfare of the people, Comrade Salifu played a key role in the payment of compensation to victims of the GSM Village fire disaster in Lokoja. His efforts ensured that the victims received the necessary support and assistance to rebuild their lives and livelihoods. This gesture was widely applauded by the people, who saw it as a demonstration of the administration’s commitment to their welfare.
Remarkably, Comrade Joel Salifu’s achievements as Deputy Governor of Kogi State are a testament to his dedication, leadership skills, and commitment to the welfare of the people. His efforts in flood management, conflict resolution, representation, and hosting traditional rulers have been outstanding, and his actions have consistently reflected the values of the administration. As he continues to serve the people of Kogi State, it is clear that his legacy will be one of service, dedication, and commitment to the greater good.

The governor’s commitment to the welfare of the people, his diplomatic prowess, and his ability to carry traditional rulers along in the governance of the state have been impressive.
Moreover, the wise decision made by Former Governor Yahaya Adoza Bello to lay the foundation for the progress Kogi State is experiencing today has been instrumental in shaping the state’s success.
