Four suspected Boko Haram members have been arrested in Yola, the capital of Adamawa State, in connection with an alleged plot to attack Atiku Abubakar’s home.
Suleiman Yahaya Nguroj, the state’s Police spokesperson, confirmed the development, saying the suspects were detained in front of Atiku’s home and admitted to being Boko Haram members on a mission to assault several target locations in the state.
They have been handed over to the military, the police spokesperson added.
Reacting to the arrest, Atiku’s media said in a statement that: “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.
“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.”
