The man (Suleiman Hashimu) who trekked from Lagos to Abuja to celebrate President-elect's Buhari narrated the high and low of his history making adventure.
Sulieman Hashimu told Daily post that he had gone to get a police report at Ibadan to allow for an unimpeded journey, but that as he could not wait for the processes to be completed, the divisional police officer (DPO) gave him his phone number.
Hashimu said that in Ilorin, people accompanied him for several miles until he stopped at
Oloru, where he received much hospitality in Jebba. He said unlike other
villages, he met people who had heard of him.
He further said that about 20 people set off with him from Jebba and after some miles, 18
turned back, but the other two were more strong-minded and followed him.
The Traveler narrated
how they encountered armed robbers close to Mokwa, but that, fortunately, he
had already met one of them in Jebba and the would-be robber ended up giving
him N200 for ‘pure’ (sachet) water.
Hashimu said he
continued his trip from Mokwa to Kudu, then from Kutigi to Bida, and then to
Suleja, after which arrived in Abuja.
