For Air Commodore Akin Johnson, rtd, it was a keep-fit exercise  gone awry. For daring to jog around his area of residence in the early hours of Friday, he is lying critically, in a hospital.

According to reports, he was accosted and  very badly injured by hoodlums who attacked him.

It was not, immediately, known why the hoodlums attacked him near his residence in the Lugbe area of Abuja, or the point they wanted to make, since he had nothing on him to suggest his status in the society, but his injuries are so bad, that from his head, down to his ears and cheeks are in stitches. He was cut-up, obviously, with a knife.

Confirming the frightening incident, his wife said he is in a critical but stable state.

In a social media advisory, she warned people not only to be vigilant, but to avoid jogging/walking  very early in the morning or very late in the evening. She  says it is fraught with dangers. “Make sure it is daylight, and people are on the streets before you take a walk or a jog”, she said.

Abuja streets are fast becoming danger zones. Conscious of the situation, the Police have, in recent times, been raiding bad spots, and arresting hoodlums.
