Charles Novia happens to be one of those
doubting the trekking guy as he is now fondly
called, came for him in a new tweet.
However, Narrating his ordeal to newsmen upon
his arrival in Abuja, Hashimu said he had gone to
get a police report at Ibadan to allow for an
unimpeded journey, but that as he could not wait
for the processes to be completed, the divisional
police officer (DPO) gave him his phone number.
The journey man said when he first embarked on
the journey, many persons discouraged him,
especially family members but he never gave up.
He told journalists that in Ilorin, people
accompanied him for several miles until he
stopped at Oloru, where he received much
hospitality in Jebba. He said unlike other villages,
he met people who had heard of him.
He further explained that about 20 people set off
with him from Jebba and after some miles, 18
turned back, but the other two were more strong-
minded and followed him.
The Traveller narrated how they encountered
armed robbers close to Mokwa, but that,
fortunately, he had already met one of them in
Jebba and the would-be robber ended up giving
him N200 for ‘pure’ (sachet) water.
Hashimu said he continued his trip from Mokwa to
Kudu, then from Kutigi to Bida, and then to
Suleja, after which arrived in Abuja yesterday.
Upon his arrival in Abuja on Monday, many
residents were already waiting to receive him.
When residents of FCT saw him, the chorus of Sai
Buhari rented the air.
Unconfirmed report said a top politician had
already paid for a room in Transcorp Hilton where
he would lodge.
