It is not likely
that a cross-section of Nigerians have forgotten the face and name of Barnabas Mshelia Jabila, popularly
known as Sgt. Roger. He was more
popularly known as a member of the deadly Strike
Force; a specially trained military squad reported used by Major Hamzat Al-Mustapha, then Chief
Security Officer to late military Head of State of Nigeria, Gen. Sani Abacha.
Since he has
released in prison on their alleged role in the murder of Kudirat Abiola, the wife of the presumptive winner of the June 12,
1993 presidential election, Chief MKO
Abiola, Sgt. Roger has been virtually anonymous, leading a very quiet life
in Abuja.
However, a
recent accident along the Jos-Abuja Expressway, which almost snuffed the life
out of the heavily bearded sharp shooter, has now confined him to the
wheelchair. Sgt. Roger has been
practically be taken round hospitals in Abuja for treatment but at the end of
the day, he has had to live with the reality that he would be paralysed
forever. Things are reportedly so bad for him that he now depend on people for
survival.
