Four persons suspected to be Boko Haram terrorists, who allegedly plotted to attack the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, have been arrested by the Police in Yola, Adamawa State.
The former Vice President’s media aide, Paul Ibe, confirmed the arrest in a statement.
He said, “We wish to alert the Nigerian public that at about 9:44 pm on Sunday, 23 July, 2023 a man seeking to confirm the residence of His Excellency Atiku Abubakar in Yola was apprehended at the gate of the residence. The man who was apprehended by security operatives at the residence of Atiku Abubakar was later handed over to the Police.
“Upon further interrogation by the Police, the suspect identified himself as a 29-year-old Jubrila Mohammed and confessed to being a Boko Haram member from Damboa in Borno State.
“The suspect also informed the Police that he and his colleagues, who were later arrested too, intended to attack organizations associated with Atiku Abubakar and some other sensitive locations in Yola.
“All four suspects have been handed over to military authorities. We commend the Police for the work that they continue to do in this particular investigation. We further ask that other relevant security agencies remain on top of their brief.”
