Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force in Adamawa State have arrested four suspected members of the Boko Haram group allegedly plotting to attack the residence of former Vice President Atiku Atiku Abubakar, in Yola, the State’s capital.

Yahaya Suleiman, police spokeperson in Adamawa, confirmed the development to newsmen on Monday.

According to the statement disclosing details of the arrest, the prime suspect, Jubrila Mohammed, was apprehended while attempting to identify the home of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party.

However, the media office of Atiku said other suspects were apprehended after the main suspect named them as his collaborators following an interrogation by the police.
