Yes it did happen. According to the report, the Governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Aliyu Magataka Wamakko gave N17million to the PHCN manager in charge of a substation in his hometown to buy a new transformer, cables and other things, and when the man didn't deliver, the governor invited him to his house and flogged him with a horsewhip.
A statement from the acting MD of PHCN, Kaduna, when you continue...
“On Saturday, October, 20, our business manager, Gwiwa Business Unit, So-koto State, Moses Osigwe, was invited by Governor Aliyu Wamakko to his personal residence, over the issue of lack of power supply to his hometown, Wamakko, as a result of a failed 2.5MVA transformer.
“He accused Osigwe of deliberately denying his community, Wamakko, of power supply. As the business manager was trying to explain to him, the governor just brought out a horse whip and lashed him,” Adamu said.
According to him, the governor also invited two other members of staff, Isyaku Daura, Officer 2 (Electrical) and Nuru-ddeen Mohammed, Staff 1 (Lines) and ordered his mobile policemen to beat them up.
hahahahaa, Governor is harsh mehn! Good for the PHCN official.

DeleteLinda why are you not uploading comments? have they become your personal property?
ReplyDeleteLMAO @ the PHCN manager
LOOOOL! Good job sir!
ReplyDeleteAbeg if he's getting result thru that means fine , Rotimi Amaechi had better adopt that method cos the power supply in PH is rubbish, below 10percent, and yet they demand for bill.
DeleteDis is serious hahahahahah
ReplyDeleteOnly in Nigeria! If a man in his position can flog another man when brainstorming fr a solution should have been the way, why wont some stupid villagers take the law into their own hands in murdering those innocent boys? Your leaders are the worse in the world. What a jungle!
ReplyDeletethis is a different case, those fools in phcn need to be taught a lesson
Deletethis is a different case, those fools in phcn need to be taught a lesson
DeleteOh really?? So ur justifying a whole governor who should be d symbol of law and order floGging someone as if he is his son?? Na wa o. D mentality of nigerians!!! Smh 4 you. Abi, Nepa man na distribution coy??? This is justifiable in ur eyes, but not d Aluu killings??? What's wrong is wrong regardless of d gravity of it!!!
DeleteNo case is different, then aluu case is also different.. Nigerian with the way they think..
DeleteWe r failing to see the big pic here. Why was the light ment to be for only his community? What of the rest of the state? If its like that then the president should flog the gov for failing his state. The phcn ppl better sue him. Anyway they can't. They don chop money wipe mouth so pls accept the flog enh. Use from that money and cure ur nyash wounds.

he flogged him?? hahaha! i know this is a serious issue, but... really?? LOL!
ReplyDeleteprosecution, no justice of any sort, & of course, more stories of how our leaders abuse power & oppress their subjects would come up. Anyone remember how the rogue ex Governor of Imo State (Ikedi Ohakim) personally flogged the shit out of a journalist & a clergyman couple of yrs back? Did the story not end in the papers & on LIB? After they would come on the media to condemn jungle justice. This is jungle justice combined with abuse of power. What a shame
ReplyDeleteThey should sue the pants of him. If money transferred hands, was it official? If it was official, the issue is with the company and not their branch manager.
ReplyDeleteWe should bring him out and spank him not abuse of office and squandering Nigeria's money. Idiot man. Now you know why the common man is instituting jungle justice. They are following the example of the nincompoops in office
Lol! Good for the PHCN guys, maybe if more governors did this there would be 24 hour electricity all over Nigeria!
ReplyDeleteand de won't sue? Maybe de don't want to be exposed...
ReplyDeleteIt can only happen in dis country
This is crazy..#u go fear Veto power o#
ReplyDeleteThe unfortunate thing about this shameful story isn't the flogging, But the disturbing fact that this story will end just here in the media. No prosecution, no justice of any sort, & of course, more stories of how our leaders abuse power & oppress their subjects would come up.

ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha!!!! Laff finish me ooo.... Only 4 Naija
ReplyDeleteAnd u blame Aluu villagers for taking d law into their hands? This is anoda form of Jungle justice and d law must be allowed to take its course on this case.
ReplyDelete*Speechless*
ReplyDeleteLmao. This is so funny. But how can I give someone 17m and he'll fuck up and I'll not treat his fuckup. Thumbs up Governor. Ɩ☺Ɩ I wish there was a video
ReplyDeleteHahahahahah......dis will be a lesson. ...
ReplyDeleteWould he have flogged a fellow northerner like that?
ReplyDeleteMy friend shattap there!!! Oley why shouldn't he flog him? Bcos dis one is a fellow igbo criminal like u? I still don't understand why u igbos can never be trusted with cash. You monkeys always steal ALL of the money. Tueh tueh!!!
DeleteEh yaaa. Oh, you bitter poor little soul. God's mercy is free. Just ask. Sorry ehn. Ndo. It is well with you. Ur healed in Jesus name.
DeleteI'm not igbo but the venom anon 10:16 displayed towards igbo ppl. My God. I'm sure an Igbo person has jilted u b4. It is ok enh. Pls pray for that bitterness to leave ur soul. It will be well
DeleteFantastic
ReplyDeleteThose phcn officials deserve to be shot

If u really can't wait, apply for the job on her blog. Hian. I taya for people.
ReplyDeletethat is just taking taking things to far. pls God help Nigeria!!
ReplyDeletebarbaric! Dis shows how backward and myopic these leaders are.Perhaps,we should also flog de governor and our other leaders for failures in leadership. Nonsense..!
ReplyDelete17 million flogging!!..next time he would deliver on time!!
ReplyDeleteWe just read about a teacher flogging a studen to death and now we are reading of a governor flogging grown man at a company for not fulfilling a professional obligation. So this is what Nigeria has been reduced to? So we have really descended into serious lawlessness?
ReplyDeleteThe PHCN manager sef na mumu, you go stand there make person flog you like you be pikin!
Shame on all of you that think this barbaric act is funny. That is why at times I think there is no hope for my country. The leaders and the entire citizenry need a complete change of attitude. How can anyone condone an act like this. Are they no civil ways to handle issues like this? Everybody acting like animals.Make una dey laugh una self. Stupid people!!!!
ReplyDeleteLoool, ahhhh!!! please, this people will not kill me with laughter.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw read the topic, I was going to ask if he's mad, but reading it further is just so hilarious.
He deserved to be flog, Hahahaah
Yeye governor how has he developed sokoto state that he is flogging a fellow man.
ReplyDeleteSo many stupid things happen in this country. Imagine a governor who is suppose to be a leader behaving lik a thug
ReplyDeleteThis is funny and at the same time degrading... there would have been a better way to resolve this...
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me? And some people actually think its funny and support the governor.
ReplyDeleteThat's why Nigeria is where she is today, damn shame!
He is only concerned about "his community" abi? What happens to d other communities? These evil men drink human blood like wine, and we are here talking about flogging
ReplyDeleteArrant nonsense! Pele o Mr governor! That's just the way to solve a pressing issue! Mcheeeeww!!!
ReplyDeleteSokoto State Governor should be closely monitored as a potential 'BH' supporter/sponsor.
ReplyDeleteHe has openly displayed some 'B H' tendencies by using SHARIA law as his form of punishment instead of allowing the rule of law to prevail.
His actions was not funny at all.
About time!! Too many civil servants getting away with rubbish! You can't take a man's money and not deliver...
ReplyDeletetalk about 'whipping up' sentiments :)
ReplyDeleteNo be small thing oo
ReplyDeleteDear governor biko give him more strokes ndi oshi, no light yet huge biLls

ReplyDeletesome idiots say the gov did the right thing, this rubbish can only happen in nigeria where animals live, if the govt provide powerful transformer to serve the whole country,will the PHCN not provide enough electricity, and he did it out selfish interest, when you guys had no power supply,who flogged the phcn officials for you???
ReplyDeleteyou re the idiot. foool
Deleteyou re the idiot. foool
DeleteAbegggi Libers ds na wen I go talk say una Sef get scion scion u all know there's a point Nepa gets to that u will wzntto go n beat dem up just like the rubbish that is happening to me in our house in Uyo ! I miss Lagos light erred!!!
ReplyDeleteone word "Shame" goshhhh wen i read thnings life dis, it just upset me.....The soul called governor does not have the right to flog the PHCN manager for watever reason Haba!!!
ReplyDeleteThe way they handle power/position in Nigeria is just silly more like illiterates #KMT
fuck u bitch!
Deletelawless leaders with lawless citizens who think from their anus!!! Some people actually think the Governor's action was right?? *justdisturbed*
ReplyDeletejustdisturbed? we dont care what u think. im sure u dont pay nepa bills . i even doubt if u are the one feeding urself. just for the records if i dey pain u go hug transformer. steeewpid!
Deletejustdisturbed? we dont care what u think. im sure u dont pay nepa bills . i even doubt if u are the one feeding urself. just for the records if i dey pain u go hug transformer. steeewpid!
DeleteMr Governor, i wonder how many strokes of koboko you are supposed to recieve for all the monies you have embezzled...oloshi!....case of removing a speck with a huge log in your eyes...
ReplyDeleteLMKMD oga Gov sooo on point am sure PHCN will improve. At anonymous 10.16 y are you so tribalistic? Abi u get money allergy or ur job na charity? Am ibo and I can be trusted with cash BIKO KWA O!
ReplyDeletePls all u peeps shouting its barbaric and wat not should all pls go and slp abeg!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis manager thot he was smart,thot he could pocket N17mill and not show any work done,not even cables talkless of the transformer..this is how corruption starts and the gov gav the manager wat he deserves, we need more sane govs that would turn around this country...isn't that wat Rawlings did,look at Ghana!!!
Nigerians are like MALU(cows),they need to treated like one to get positive results from them..
This Gov for President!!
Chikena!
Nigerians pls stop being shallow and see beyond the surface, this kind of encouragements to the governor "ehn he did da right thing or I gbadun this gov" will get us no where. Only in nigeria does a man call a fellow citizen to his house and proceed to flog him, BULLSHIT! We need to open our eyes and stop tolerating crap from our politicians..I happen to be from that part of the north, and could list a dozen other villages in need of a transformer..I do not support what the manager did but for goodness sake who hands out that kind of money to a phcn manager? to go buy a transformer "sounds like something I would tell the children of that village when they ask, "aunt why don't we have light?" sha sha me o I would presume that acquiring transformer thingy's for villages should be the responsibility of the local government!...moral of my post pls make we stand up for our people, encourage our politician's good not their bad actions...P.S Lin Lin, am a first time commenter on ur blog yayy!!!
ReplyDeleteOk so governor can flog another fellow man...and nobody is judging him or insulting him. But wen a pastor slaps a young girl for saying somethin not good...it becomes news..public...bad...we need to check and tink of our ways. Hmmm I know if it was a pastor that flogged the phcn manager...people would have insulted and judged him(as usual). Satan is really lookin for pple to be wit him down dere. We need to really be vigilant and pray always. We need to be careful and watch our ways
ReplyDeleteI wonder why you are all saying good job to the Governor for taking the laws into his hands....no one has heard from the ECN/NEPA/PHCN official to hear his side of the story
ReplyDeleteWhat if the punishment was more severe like the Aluu 4 (God rest their dear souls), would we be saying good job to the Gov? Does the Gov not believe that the judicial system would prosecue him?? Why take laws into your own hands / whip....my two kobo
@Anonymous October 25, 2012 6:07 PM.Please do yourself a favor go get something serious with your life stop trolling.You're a moron & a clear one too,your comment is such a waste of network bandwidth.Do you actually know what happens in Nigeria?PHCN Officials are one of the most corrupt in the World,have witnessed in a community where the villagers contributed money with a little assist from the state government to buy a new transformer for four years nothing was done they later found out that the money was no where to be accounted for,it took constant pressure by the well known elite in the community stating a report to the Governor,yet the case is still pending due to a new tenure of another Governor.
ReplyDeletethat serves PHCN people right, in Delta state we xperience such blackouts but who wan talk, @ d end of d month they still bring bill which we pay, how do they get d meter reading when there's no light. PHCN i fear una.
ReplyDeleteobviously, the ill-gotten dough was spent illegally for his own community and he can not depend on the judicial system to prosecute the ECN/NEPA/PHCN official
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous 7.28pm, well said.As if Linda na machine.Impatient pple.
ReplyDeleteAlhaji Governor abeg give am two more srokes....Next time he go give una light
ReplyDeleteLaughing my sexy ass off !!!
ReplyDeleteGood one from the governor, but guys who flogs the governor when he fail to discharge his duties....
ReplyDeleteSelfship governor and stupid power holding staff , governor that is not how to treat delegulation of duty ..And why must it be ur community alone? Mr governor with jungle justice .. Another abuse of Power by a Nigeria governor
ReplyDeleteThe oda day I raid about imo state Gov fighting in the public for just a chair ,now dis one is flogging a fellow man cos he does not deliver on time .To say the truth it is unfair,instead of dos leaders to show example ,the ar behaving abnormal. Dos it mean dat anybody that is in power should be treating odas anyhow. Why can't he go and whip dos boko haram dat has been damaging the countrys' property since flogging can solve the problem.LOVE UR NEIGHBOUR AS U LOVE URSELVES
ReplyDeleteall ya all sayin shit about the guvnor not doing right should kiss my sexy ass. do u people really pay nepa bill?. well if i dey pain u all i can say is we dont give a BIG FUCK!
ReplyDeleteFATHER OF BLOG LORD'S > mr governor clap for you self ” you cn't even see boko-haram around selfish wicked rulers tell me if it only you town that is in that condition what of embezzlement of govt found and depriving, check you ash before you see e.f.c.c at you door step.
ReplyDeletei think this gov is demented and has a psychiatric condition no one knows about yet.even if there is no light in ur whole state doesn't giv him d right to flog a fellow human being. dats barbaric. are there no laws again in dis country.please we have human rights .i just wish the man dat was flogged will sue n win but dis is naija instead of movin forward,we fly backwards..
ReplyDeleteWhy did the idiot collect N17m when i knew i would not deliver. GOD punish all these phcn cabal/rogues thank you de gov. I wish u can come down and flog the ones in Lagos especially the ones at magodo isheri axis they are the worst.
ReplyDeleteNigeria is a hilarious country... the same people that condemned jungle justice on the uniport boys are using the same mouth to say that what the Governor did was right...
ReplyDeleteHow is the BM the cause of no light to Wammako? Why did he not sunmmon his colleagues in the federal govt and other states, and ask them where the light is after all the funds put in since 1999? Na for small biz manager body wey im get power. They should sue him for assault and battery, with intention to kill; kidnapping; etc...
Shame on you all that are supporting this barbaric act!!!
Dis iz gross abuse of Power.. Wat nonsense.. Jst like dat dumb Gov Isa Yuguda arrested a man over his facebook comment..#Godiswatching all dese so-called leaders.. MYRAYA SAYS SO
ReplyDeleteNigeria is a very funny place where anything is obtainable. Why would a governor give a PHCN staff irrespective of his position money to buy transformer??? Is there no office in charge of procurement in PHCN? I believe there is a transaction gone bad. Whose money did the governor use to pay for transformer? is his gesture a charitable one? Is his community the only community in the state that does not have power? Is he a communty leader or a state governor??? We need to have a rethink about the way we think...
