Boko Haram suspects arrested in plot to attack Atiku’s residence, other facilities in Yola
We wish to alert the Nigerian public that at about 9:44 p.m. on Sunday, July 23, 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 organisations 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.
Signed:
