57 years-old Bash Ali, Nigeria boxing legend, was manhandled by the police after he attempted to see the Minister of sports, Bolaji Abdullahi in Abuja on Thursday June 6th.
According to Nigeria Telegraph, the boxer who is seeking to become the oldest man to hold a world boxing title defense had wanted the defense staged in Nigeria and an audience with president Jonathan who was at the National Stadium to inaugurate "Rhythm 'N' Play". After stating his mission, president Jonathan directed the boxer to see the minister of sports for further discussion on the issue.
However, when he tried to see the sports minister who was at a private luncheon with some celebrities, he was manhandled by the minister's aides and denied audience with the minister.
"There is no respect for the people who should be respected" Ali said, How can I....when all i'm trying to do is lift up my country's name, be assaulted by a bunch of scoundrels all in the name of protecting their master? I was already a world champion when they were in primary school."
Uhm...i'm not sure these people know who to protect their masters at all lol
