The state minister for primary education Hon Dr Joyce Moriku Kaducu is on spot after a viral picture with her male bodyguard from counter terrorism police carrying her bag raising a public concern as to whether the officer can effectively save her in case of any danger.
The onlookers misinterpreted the vital photo as mistaken role of a bodyguard to the personal assistant.

Could this be a personal character of some ministers or big officials to turn bodyguards to personal assistants?
Everyone should be treated with respect inline with his or her duty
