Four suspects arrested over plot to attack Atiku, others in Yola

Four people have been detained in relation to the Sunday plot to attack the home of former vice president Atiku Abubakar.

Recall that a man trying to confirm Mr. Abubakar’s Yola address was detained on Sunday at the gate?

Subsequently, the cops received the man.

Disclosing the arrest through a statement on Monday, the Atiku Media Office said 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,” the statement disclosed.

While commending the police for the work that they continue to do in this particular investigation, the media office urged other relevant security agencies to remain on top of their brief.
