Chief Bilisi was a prominent politician and a minister in kantogo republic. he had sponsored several candidates to power and made them to swear an oath of alligiance to him. In return, they awarded contracts and offererd financial and material assistance to him at the expense of the public. This had resulted in the non-provision of social amenities. This were some of the grievance the community had against him for which a mob gathered in front of his house shouting and hauling abusive words at him. They did not stop at that, they vandalized properties and obstructed vehicular movement.
A major lesson Nigerians could learn from the story is that
- leaders can empower voters by giving them money
- security officials should use brutal force on citizens
- the under-privileged should not vie for elective positions
-
greed and related vices can cause serious breach of the law.
